Concrete Immortalz is a comic series by graffiti artist Phetus and the Elite Gudz team. It is one of the first mainstream comic series to feature a graffiti artist as the main protagonist.
Overview[edit]
The series is built on the idea that art progresses with and chronicles human history, and "the graffiti movement is the artistic embodiment of current times."[1] The series' main protagonist is The Wall Lord, a graffiti artist who writes messages of hope and defiance against a repressive government.
Reviews[edit]
Concrete Immortalz has had critical acclaim from well-known graffiti artists like Cope2[2], INDIE184,[3] BRONX [4], Terrible T-Kid 170 [5], and BAN2 [6]. On January 7, 2010, Phetus and street artist Such painted a mural image of the Wall Lord on a subway car installation outside of Tuff City Tattoos in Bronx, NY. Phetus was also joined by Cap, Cope2, T-Kid, Ban2, Indie and Cheez who came through to destroy the piece once it was completed as a tribute to the real life actions that go on within the graffiti subculture[7]. A billboard-sized mural for Concrete Immortalz was created by Phetus and Such across a block-long industrial complex at 5 Pointz in Long Island City[8].
