Separately both Mediah and Elicser have ridiculously successful careers; Mediah s a graphic designer with over 20 years experience and Elicser, with a book on the way, has also been featured at the ROM. Despite their celebrity the two choose to give back to their communities and build up the youth. In a society of capitalist natures, growing egos and selfish attitudes, people like Mediah, Elicser and the Grooves and Graffiti project restore my faith in our communities and the tremendous ripple effect we have on one another- an aspect that both artists say is the most rewarding element to the work they’re doing with the project.
“To see the looks on the kids faces” Elicser says with a smile. “It’s the best part, that sounds cheesy but it’s true.”
