STAMP (STreet Art Mapping Project), by almyz125 on Jul 9, 2013 1:38:54 GMT 1, Hi all, forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong sub-forum. I'm not sure where to begin so i'm going to jump right in here.

About a year back I was in NYC and wanted to find some graffiti to look at. Me being neither a graffiti artist nor a local of NYC, I decided to search the Android market for an app that had a map of local street art. The search came up with nothing.

Later that month I watched exit through the gift shop. In the film Banksy says something to the effect of, street art has a short life and it needs to be preserved. That thought resonated with me and I thought about how I could contribute to this philosophy.

Being somewhat of an Android developer myself, I started to brainstorm and figure out what it would take for a service like this to exist. I came up with two objectives. The first being photographically preserve the artwork and the second being record its location.

After months of development, i'm getting close to the alpha stage of this service. I have a front end client for android and a server backend to support it.

The one thing this app is missing is the polish it deserves. I am not a graphical artist, nor a street artist. So here comes the reason I came here. Is there:

A: anyone who would be interested in a service like this?
B: are there any artist willing to contribute polish to this app?
C: If so would you be willing to license the art under the GPL or Creative commons license?

If anyone is interested please let me know!

Thanks!

rparducci • That's a good idea ,have you got any pictures of what exactly you meant? Was thinking of maybe ornate in red too? What are your thoughts

Daniel Silk • We are getting some very encouraging stats on the forum this week as I continue with the board and threads changes.

zatarro • Looking for artwork of ROA. If someone has art from this artist to sell, please let me know. Thx

cdot • www.instagram.com/p/DCmJRlct3XV/?img_index=4&igsh=Mmc3MnZmajhkM3Fx

Daniel Silk • The number or Boards and Threads continues to fall as we simplify the layout of the forum.

Daniel Silk • I hear a lot of Artists complaining about Instagram in the past year, how it used to be a good tool for Artists, but it's not good anymore, is that true?

anyaart • For Brett Kern fans, I noticed there is a spinosaurus for sale on E-Bay. It's a limited edition, one of only 60 made. This is the rarest of his dinosaurs. I am not the seller. I already have the same dino purchased in 2016. I've never seen one up for sale

Dive Jedi • Get well soon, Daniel Silk . All the best !

Daniel Silk • Apology • Sorry I have been offline this past few weeks, due to a very bad Fever. I'm slowly getting better, step by step, and catching up with things here on the forum on the days I'm well enough. Thank you for your understanding.

Boy Wonder • I read that they were more or less nicked the same day they went up. Loads of fakes exist.

milou2 • Would love to see any photos of Banksy's first exhibition at the Severnshed in Bristol (2000). Who was there? *

jirr • Hi all, over here in the states. Pandemic put me out of business, need to sell this asap. Please send offers thanks so much

matgab • Steven Harrington - Gotcha first ed for sale.

1nkling • I can't help but think that a more reasonable tier for people who just want to support the work you guys do would raise more income. Then other tiers for those that want specialist benefits.

1nkling • As soon as I saw the heading for the email I thought 'Oh yeah, I use that place a lot. I'd happily support it'. Not at £40 a month though. I have a paid sub for a Formula 1 site I use that is very active. They have a high uptake on subs at £12 a year.

1nkling • Pricing on the new supporters sub seems a bit poorly thought out. £40 a month to have a pinned sale thread being the only listed benefit?

Daniel Silk • The forum now has more than half the number of Boards than it had a year ago! As we work towards simplifying the layout.

Daniel Silk • Become a UAA Supporter - urbanartassociation.com/thread/109961/supporter-urban-art-association

Daniel Silk • You might have noticed we are still working hard to reduce the excess of threads across the forum. We are down 10,000+ already.
