He takes motives of artworks by international successful urban artists and gives them a new background. That’s it. No attribution, no credits, nothing... tags: - Banksy - Stencil Art title: 'Without Attribution: Michael Kadaz Stencil Art' url: https://www.urbanartcore.com/attribution-stencil-art-michael-kadaz/ --- # Without Attribution: Michael Kadaz Stencil Art Yes I know, [everything is a remix](http://www.everythingisaremix.info/everything-is-a-remix-part-1/) and shared knowledge and shared creativity is great (that’s why all my photos are [cc-licensed](/copyrights/)), but have you ever heard something about **Michael Kadaz**? Kadaz makes his money by copy and [auction off reproduced stencil artworks](http://www.lauritz.com/Item/Item.aspx?LanguageId=2&ItemId=1874746&sflang=sv) by internationally well-known and successful stencil artists like **Dolk**, **Grafter**, **Hutch**, **Mr. Brainwash**, of course **Banksy**, and so on. And it’s not just something like an inspirational copying! He signs the works with his name and I wasn’t able to find a pointer to an attribution or something like that anywhere... I may text him a message [via Facebook](http://sv-se.facebook.com/people/Michael-Kadaz/100000240862093) and ask what’s his problem with attributing the stencil artworks...Maybe you should write him a lovely message too! Unbelievable. ![kadaz vs hutch & banksy]() kadaz vs hutch & banksy ![kadaz vs. dolk]() kadaz vs. dolk Via [touchedbythoughts](http://touchedbythoughts.blogspot.com/2010/04/michael-kadaz.html).
