Update #25: Certificates to all!

Posted on January 25

The last of the certificates were emailed early last week.  A few people have gotten back to us saying that they found the email in their spam/junk mail box. If you have not received your digital certificate, please check your junk mail box. Of course, if it is not there, let us know and we'll send you another one STAT.

      Hi, I didn't see one? I checked my spam box as well.

Update #24: Awards on their way! (And some have arrived.)

Posted on January 3

Hello All Backers!

We have just finished mailing the rewards for everyone except the two top tiers of backers. (The $500 and $1,000 backers will receive their awards as promised this month). Here's a summary of where we're at:

All backers who chose only certificates have already received theirs. We will finish sending out the certificates to everyone else in the next few days. It takes a while since a certificate had to go out via email to one at time, one individual at a time. Otherwise, Gmail starts to flag them as spam/junk mail. 

About 40 overseas people have yet to add the $15 dollars for shipping. (We'll send out another reminder if we don't hear from you this week.) 

Also, we're taking care of people who were late sending in their surveys. 

And last but not least, a lot of people have been commenting that they have received one thing but not the other. e.g. DVD but no poster or vice-versa. Awards had to be sent separately but everything should be getting there soon.

We hope that we haven't missed anyone! Do let us know if we have missed you.  

As always, boundless appreciation for your support!

Starting out as a sculptor in New York in the 1970s, HENRY CHALFANT turned to photography and film to do an in-depth study of hip-hop culture and graffiti art. He became one of the foremost authorities on New York subway art and other aspects of urban youth culture. His photographs record hundreds of ephemeral art works that have long since vanished. To Chalfant's credit are three of the most influential documentations of aerosol art. He co-authored the book Subway Art(1984) with Martha Cooper and he co-produced the film Style Wars (1983) with director Tony Silver. In 1987 Chalfant co-authored the book Spraycan Art with James Prigoff, documenting the global expansion of graffiti. Each one of these documentary efforts have been embraced by the international graffiti community and they have served as cultural blueprints for graffiti art movements around the world. Chalfant also directed with Rita Fecher a documentary on South Bronx gangs, Flyin’ Cut Sleeves (1994) and he directed From Mambo to Hip Hop (2006) portraying two generations of Latino youth growing up in the South Bronx.
