Sheefy Mcfly, a proud Detroiter, painter and visual artist amongst other creative expressions as a rapper, DJ, and producer, is BLAC’s Artist of the week. Designing across an array of elements, Mcfly’s work is locally and globally present from his diverse fan base of art collectors and enthusiasts as well as the projects he’s exclusively designed for his hometown. Mcfly is the originator of the mural featured at Bedrock Detroit’s Drive-In movie theater powered by Emagine Theaters. In a collaborative effort between publisher, 1XRun Editions and Polaroid —who In 2020, called forth five leading contemporary artists to imagine what their own custom cameras might look like —Mcfly has presented his custom designed camera which is currently on sale alongside the project’s other artists.
“One of the things that I love about being a painter is the empathy that I’ve gained from seeing my artwork and impact through someone else’s eyes. The connection that is made when someone enjoys my art is unmatched . I’m forever grateful. I grew up knowing I was an artist. It feels good to actually see it happening. Don’t give up on your dreams you just might change the world.” – Sheefy Mcfly
