36" x 36", Acrylic and Aerosol on Canvas
Luis Bloom - Khristyn - Demaciiio - Darklord Escada - Sheefy McFly
 
The Idea for this painting was continuously changing up until its production. It started with just myself (Luis Bloom) and Demaciiio. After recently completing other collaboration works, the desire to contact inspirations of my career became very strong.
​
The Covid pandemic has been a tough time for everyone but exchanging canvas between others or even working in the same room was very hard to set up. The Freedom event held on
June 19th became a crazy opportunity to work on a new piece with Demaciiio, after learning that
Sheefy would be present I decided to ask him to work on something together. Surprisingly he
was all for the idea of working together.
​
After working through some steps on the collaborative piece with Demaciiio, Sheefy walks to us asking “Do you have a can of black?” I reached into my box and handed it to him and he started spraying. We watched him work, as he was working Escada (@darklord_escada) setups up a few feet from the canvas. Demaciiio steps in close to me saying, “We should see if he would want to work on this too!” I responded in excitement “Yeah bro!”. After asking, Escada was ready to work! He placed his work immediately after Sheefy finished working. The event would soon be over but the painting was yet to be finished, after taking the painting back to the studio, it was our turn! Khristyn and I were ready to finalize the painting adding in the final touches.
​
I’ve never seen a painting in Detroit before where 5 Artists came together and created a singular piece on canvas. It was a huge milestone for me to be a part of something so massive! At that point I knew what to name the painting, an “Unforgettable Milestone”.
