The Story Behind the Piece
"Thanks a Bucket!" is a rare collaboration between Phoenix based artist Wij... and south side Chicago street artist Trip One. The two of them had a chance to meet in the summer of 2017. Wij was in Chicago showcasing some of his newer work. They immediately got along and later decided to use both of their individual styles on one piece of art. While in Trip One's studio the artists began to look over work they've both created in the past. When Trip pulled out a customized stencil of Marilyn Monroe they both agreed that would be the image they were going to work with. The piece was named "Thanks A Bucket" based off of a saying the actress would occasionally use during her black and white films.
