5 artists answered Kanye West's request to "add graffiti" to the posters for his new album.

One of the few promotional elements utilized by Kanye West for his new album, Yeezus were posters of the album artwork with the request to "please add graffiti" printed above it. The posters were put up in a few major cities with the intention of attracting the attention of street artists.

GQ had the idea to get a few artists to create their own posters for the magazine, recruiting the likes of Mister Cartoon, ESPO, Curtis Kulig, Wil Fry, and even James Franco to add their art to Ye's canvases.

View the results in the gallery above (Franco's is the first "American Psycho"-themed piece).
