ICUC MYSTERY REVEALED (including video of the making)

SO A COUPLE DAYS AGO I POSTED A BLOG ABOUT SOMEONE PUTTING UP A HUGE STICKER OR WHEATPASTE IN OUR GALLERY. NOBODY IN INDIVIDUAL COLLECTIVE KNEW WHO IT WAS AND IT REMAINED A MYSTERY UNTIL TODAY. BUT UNTIL I GET TO THAT LET ME START OFF MY SAYING IT WAS MY BAD ON BLASTING IT ONLINE WITHOUT MORE DETAILS, SO HERE IS HOW THE STORY GOES...

THURSDAY: CRIS EDWARDS WALKS IN THE STUDIO AND A HUGE PASTEUP IS AGAINST THE CEILING AND MASS TEXTS AND TWITTERS EVERYONE IN IC. EVERYONE IS SHOCKED AND AMAZED AT WHAT HAPPENED AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO IT IS. PEOPLE START PUTTING THE BLAME ON PEOPLE.

FRIDAY: ANOTHER HUGE PASTEUP IS ON THE GALLERY WALL AS WELL AS 'UNDERGROUND COLLECTIVE' NEXT TO 'INDIVIDUAL COLLECTIVE' AND CHARACTERS EYES WHITED OUT AND REPLACED WITH SWIRLY EYES ON THE COLLABORATIVE WALL. RAW-UL TWITTERS THERE IS ANOTHER ONE AND EVERYONE STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHO DID IT.

SATURDAY: IC ROCK THE COWBELLS EVENT. AFTER A LONG NIGHT, AND WHEN THE GALLERY CLEARS ALL BUT IC MEMBERS, ICUC IS REVEALED.

NOW BEFORE I TELL YOU WHO IT IS, LET ME ADD THE DETAIL I SHOULD HAVE IN THE LAST POST. THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE PASTE UPS HAD TO BE A KEYHOLDER OF THE IC GALLERY. THE IC GALLERY WAS NOT BROKEN INTO. IT WAS NOT PUT UP MYSTERIOUSLY DURING AN EVENT OR OPEN HOURS. YEA, THE PIECES CLEARLY MOCKED ALL OF IC'S CHARACTERS BUT IT WAS CLEARLY A JOKE AND WOULD NOT BE TAKEN ANY FURTHER BY VANDALIZING OR DESTROYING ANYONE ELSE'S ARTWORK.

WITH ALL THAT SAID, LET ME TELL YOU WHO THESE PRANKSTERS ARE.....TIMOTHY G (OF IC AND DAT:AA), CRIS EDWARDS (OF IC), AND.....MYSELF (OF IC, DAT:AA, AND S&B). YES I PLAYED A PART OF IT AS ONE OF THE ARTISTS AND HELPERS. CRIS AND TIM CAME UP WITH THE IDEA A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON, TOLD ME TO WAKE UP BECAUSE THEY HAD A 'SECRET MISSION' THEY WANTED ME TO BE A PART OF. I KNEW ALOT OF THE IC CHARACTERS SO I HELPED IN MOCKING THEM UP AS WELL. OUR INTENTIONS WERE NOT BAD, BUT JUST TO SHOW THAT PEOPLE IN IC CAN COME UP WITH A SUCCESSFUL AND AMAZING COLLABORATION. WE DID NOT START THIS ICUC PROJECT TO BE SELECTIVE AND LEAVE OUT ANYONE, BUT WHERE WOULD THE MYSTERY AND FUN BE WITHOUT THE GAME OF 'GUESS WHO'. WELL THE MYSTERY DRAGGED ON LONG ENOUGH AND THERE GOES YOUR ANSWER. ICUC IS TIM, CRIS, AND MYSELF. THE IC CREW GAVE US PROPS FOR PULLING OFF SUCH A STUNT AS WELL AS THE ART BUT WITH A BIG MYSTERY AND SECRET TO THE CREW LET TO BLAMING I DID NOT WANT TO HAPPEN AS WELL AS SUSPICION OF OUR GALLERY BEING UNSAFE. SO TO EVERYONE, ICUC IS NOT OUT THERE TO VANDALIZE YOUR ART BEING HELD IN THE GALLERY. YOUR ART PIECES ARE AS SAFE AS ANY OTHER ART GALLERY OUT THERE. THE MOCKS ON THE COLLABORATIVE WALL WERE TWEAKED WITH BECAUSE I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO BE PAINTED OVER THE NEXT DAY ANYWAYS. EVERYONE IN IC IS VERY RESPONSIBLE AND VERY PROFESSIONAL WITH OUR GALLERY, BUT...WE STILL ARE HUMAN AND LIKE TO HAVE FUN TOO. I CAN HONESTLY TRUST EVERYONE IN IC WITH ANYTHING. I GUESS THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SAY EXCEPT THIS IS ANOTHER PAGE IN THE HISTORY OF INDIVIDUAL COLLECTIVE. PEACE.

Now here is the raw footage of the process!:
