Derek Erdman

well you can start to see what kind of style that i like. i do really like comical art. people may have the misconception that really good art has to be so serious and so professional but i completely disagree. i think that this art is really good and i would love to see art like this someday in a more professional setting instead of just on the internet or on the streets. derek erdman has a strange way about him besides doing these sort os paintings he also has a communal aspect to him because on his web site you can send him money and a photograph of yourself and he will paint your portrait even more bizzare is that he has a thing called 12 dollar raps and he also does alot of street art in his home city chicago. with 12 dollar raps you send marice (which i think is actually derek erdman) a complaint that you have. well here is what it says on the website

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE?
TERRIBLE MEAL AT A RESTAURANT?
TIRED OF A WORN OUT RELATIONSHIP?
WAYWARD RELATIVE OWES YOU MONEY?
UNABLE TO BE PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE?
MAURICE IS ON THE JOB!

Rap Master Maurice is willing to VIGILANTE MIND BATTLE RAP CALL
anybody who has done you wrong. Simply PayPal $12 and give a brief explanation of
the trouble and you're EVEN STEPHEN. Do it now because soon it will
cost $17 and you will say to yourself, "I SHOULD HAVE DONE IT WHEN IT WAS $12".

Supply the telephone number and the info, THE RAP IS MADE.

NOTICE: The price of non-revenge "friendly" raps has changed
to $19. Maurice is a revenge rapper but will don the hat of
friendly rapper for an extra $7.

yeah i love this guy here is his website
