Quick question - [Donations for 30 x 30 Chiefs Mural Now Open]
 

Would anyone here be willing donate for a 30ft tall x 30ft wide mural honoring PAST and present SB Champions?

F yeah bro. If it's just the Chiefs of course. Please explain your thoughts.

To go where? is it in the name of Chiefsplanet?

Right on.

Ever since I moved back home, it's always kind of bothered me there was nothing honoring the Chiefs or the SBIV Champions. Stram's squad won 3 AFL Championships and a SB . A lot of those players never left KC. We stood on their shoulders for 50 years waiting for the current success. What better time and way than to involve the past/current Champions?

I have the sketch. I have the wall. i have the dream.

I'm just hoping enough Chiefs fans feel the same way.

I would have a plaque made stating the work was commissioned by Chiefs fans across the country.

Where would it be located?

Sure

What is the fundraising target?

Past and current?

So, how big is this wall? You have a sketch, does it have individual players, coaches, etc?

I'm intrigued.

Check your rep.

You've been to the location.

30ft tall.

Lamar, Hank, Andy and players from both squads over a huge Chiefs logo with Super Bowl Champions underneath

Sounds sexy AF. And knowing you'll be doing it I know it will be awesome.

Have any specific muralists in mind for the project?

Style?

He knows a guy.

I would suggest disclosing the general location if you want to avoid looking shiesty.

Belize

Some dude from Belize.

;)

Please..Stevieray has a good reputation here.
I’m not from KC, but if there is a need let me know.

rep me the location

I actually know a few muralists in the area.

But it sounds like you’re committed to being a dick, so carry on.

Go gamble away your rent money.

I'm just trying to get a feel for the room.

All the pertinent info will be posted at the appropriate time.

Just so you don't make yourself anymore of a fool. Stevie is an artist.

No, hence the ;)..you know if you stopped reacting, the sooner it dies.

Curious, why would you refer me to other muralists?

If you’re gonna donate your time, I’m in for $100.

oh yeah, that's a great location for it

practically a landmark when it's done

IN

Count me in!

Not the first or last time I’m gonna say something combative and retrospectively slightly dumb. But the OP was way light on details.

I vaguely recall Stevie being an artist. His style isn’t my jam but sounds like a worthy project.

Rep me location. I'll throw in a few bucks for it.

Your Belize bucks work as US currency?

Of course Stevie. Heck, that last original I got from you takes up bout half that space :). You got my 411. Let me know what you need

You know I'd be down.

I would help because there's no questioning Stevies talent, and it's a big deal for a city. Denver is covered in them.

For reference $10k for a 20x20 mural here is normal. The project deserves help.

You know I'm down!

IN!

I would but.....

See Jackson County tax assessments for my reason why I can't.

Would love to see my avatar in the mural!

Feel like Clark should be there with his goofy haircut as part of the present

Yes, I would help with a donation.

Yes. Absolutely.

I'm in, stevie. Interested in details if you'd share.

I’ve got a lot of expenditures for the foreseeable future but, I’ll work some kind of donation into the mix.

I'll certainly throw up a couple bucks lieu of the free room & board you and your lovely family provided me on my travels with hopes of seeing it in person on my next Chiefs game.

Bumping this because the GoFundMe account is active as of this afternoon, so those that pledged, please help out.

The GFM page is: https://gofund.me/11626c1b

I also threw together a TikTok for this as well: https://www.tiktok.com/@kcch1efs20/v...11054740933934

Let's make this happen!!

If a Mod want to sticky this with the appropriate title, I know Stevieray would really appreciate it!

Already up to $720, but it has a long way to go. Come on Planet, let's get this one going.
I do have one little suggestion....Put the Superbowl Champion Roman Numerals sporadically on the mural, so that future numerals can be added over the image. IV, LIV, LVII... We've got more coming.
I can't wait to see it completed, Stevie!

Personally contributed and posted the go fund me in both my Facebook groups.

:rockon:

Yup, the AFL championships, too. Stram was considered one of the best coaches of all time, because he won it all without an OC, DC or ST coach.



It would be cool if they can be honored, the mural would last for years.

Done!

Awesome, I can't wait to see it.

Is there a plan for the funds if the goal isn't met? I'd personally be more comfortable with the Kickstarter model, but I'm open to donating if there's an alternative use planned.

Yeah, I'd be in for this. Interested in the location, as well.

Thanks & thanks for asking.

...if the goal isn't totally met....say only 10k is raised, I will attempt to paint the mural at 15ft x 15ft. I think any smaller wouldn't be as impactful.

Anything under that, I will most likely kill the project and all money will be returned, or possibly paint a big mural of a player, but only if the people who donated approve.

Go Fund me hasn't even asked for any banking info at this point.

I feel like this is doable...are there 2000 Chiefs fans willing to donate $10? Or a thousand willing to donate $20? Or 200 willing to donate $100?

I like to think there are, but I guess we'll see.

A Lenny mural would be nice if it came down to it, but I bet you get enough to do the whole thing.

Stevie,

A question, simply because I don't understand how much time/effort something like this costs.

We have a donation goal of $22k. How much of that goes into supplies, etc - and how much is " labor, for lack of a better word?

How much time do you envision completing something like this will take?

And how much goes into jacked up property taxes?!?!?

donated, tweeted and facebooked :)

Way better proposal.

And, since Stevie didn’t clarify, I’m gonna ask.

Is he getting paid for this endeavor?

2k will go to the lift and supplies.
If Im lucky and put in long days, a month
Most likely more.

The goal is to have it finished by the home opener.

Any of you donate first, ask questions later types want to buy a monorail??

So $20K for labor??

Also, is Stevie getting copyright clearance from the Chiefs?

I’m no IP lawyer but it seems to be a potential issue.

I know Stevie in real life, so when my donation goes through it will be with the utmost confidence that he’s not taking a pretend girlfriend to Belize with the money.

After Go fund me fees and expenses, I will net around 18, which puts the cost of mural at 20sq ft, which is actually low, considering it's lettering, a logo and multiple portraits.

It's hard to imagine the scope and scale.

For instance, Lamar will be around 8ft tall and the length of the logo will be around 12-13 ft long.

Hope this helps.

Cool.

Thanks for finally disclosing this is a for profit gig you’re shilling.

It's not a crime for an artist to pitch an idea they'll make some money on. No one in their right mind would 1) expect someone to do this for free or 2) assume that this would cost $20k in materials.

Pitch in if it's worth it to you. Don't if you don't. That's about all there is to it.

It really is that simple.


Thank you.

As a side, love your work, wherever it is.
sec

$22k honestly seems like a bargain for the the time that will be invested.

Why are you such a dick? I don't give a shit about this mural but if you don't want to donate, don't and shut the **** up. You pay an artist for their time and skill. He's not flipping burgers for a month and then asking for 18k.

Don't you have a fake girlfriend waiting to go to Greece or something, Mr. Supersleuth?

Hey, I'd be mad too if I got clowned as hard as he did.

Three stories tall and just as wide, with all kinds of detailed work and outside during the dog days of summer. I’ve got no problem with the money involved.

Is $10 a donation or an insult?

Asking for a friend.

Me: I don’t think it is, anything helps.

Also me: Sounds like a question a beta would ask. :p

Donated though paypal.

BTW I didn't tip. Why did it ask for a tip?
Was it just the tip?

Good luck on your endeavor Stevie

My god you are a miserable cuck... Just stop already and stay the hell out of this thread...

nickels and dimes add up!

I just need a truckload of them! ;)

:rockon:

thank you man!

you guys are the best!

Done - you are the Man, stevie!
