Eli5, How do street/stunt artists make money?

347 views

While someone like Banksy or David Choe is a slight exception, how does someone who either does street/graffiti art or any type of artistic stunt make money and build a name for themselves? I’m aware there’s social media and branding, plus the wealthy contacts and friends that influence arts value but compared to someone marketing their art or selling it online how do more “experimental” artists monetize their productions?

Sell photos of it. The world is crazy. There is an artist the glass company I work for does things for where we print a color inside the glass then paint it black and he was selling these for 15,000$ a piece. It’s just a black piece of glass if you put your face on the wall you can see a tint. It’s not about the art it’s about the ability to convince people it’s valuable.
