Dithers represents the first time many of the graffiti and street artists have been captured on film creating their art.

 

The 30 innovative artists (see below for entire list of artists) featured on Dithers have produced inspiring work and contributions to today's cultural vocabulary and history. On the DVD, they are featured in real-world situations discussing their influences, the environment in which they create art and the current art climate. Dithers director Reid van Renesse says he wanted to put a face and explanation on the art we see everyday. "People see these artists' works on a daily basis but rarely get to see how it's made. Dithers is their chance to see these artists in action."

Dithers features one-on-one interviews with the artists in which they reveal personal anecdotes, their artist style and techniques, their struggles as an artist and what motivates them to succeed in the industry. "I felt the need to document alternative artists in order to share their stories with the mainstream public and offer a behind-the-scenes look of how the artists operate," says van Renesse.

 

The double-sided DVD features interviews with 30 artists, including:

BIGFOOT / TIFFANY BOZIC / DAVID CHOE / DUG ONE / GREY / JEREMY FISH / JEST / SHEPARD FAIREY / BRIAN FLYNN / SAM FLORES / GIANT / RICH JACOBS / QUIK / ANDY HOWELL / JO JACKSON / DAVE KINSEY / STASH / ALBERT REYES / SEEN / ANDY JENKINS / ANDY MUELLER / RICKY POWELL / SSUR / DALEK / TEAM / KEVIN LYONS / KOSTAS SEREMETIS / REVOLT / JAMEL SHABAZZ / ZEPHYR

Plus get the bonus DVD with interviews by famous street photographer Ricky Powell that includes interviews and studio visits with eight artists: Team, Jest, Kostas, Dalek, Dr. Revolt, SSUR, Seen and Quick; as well as never-been-seen-before bonus footage. The footage is shot in a style Powell characterizes as, "unorthodox, avant-garde with a bohemian twist," similar to the relaxed format of his cult-classic New York public access cable TV show Rappin' with the Rickster. Ricky Powell has photographed some of the best known rap and hip hop artists of all time including The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Cypress Hill, LL Cool J, Easy E, Slick Rick and Method Man. His first book, Oh Snap! was published in 1998 and he released his second, The Rickford Files: Classic New York Photos, in 2000. He currently writes a column for Mass Appeal magazine, is compiling a third book and produces a clothing line, "The Ricky Powell Collection" under the Upper Playground label in San Francisco.
