On May 22, 2008 a 50-something year-old woman by the name of Patty Mayo sent out a desperate plea over YouTube. Her cries echoed through cyber space, receiving over 8,000 hits in just 2 days. Her wish was simple: for her favorite graffiti artist, Rime aka Jersey Joe, to paint a peeing dog on the side of her trailer. This was no ordinary trailer. During the last 10 years it has housed over 200 rescue dogs, abandoned and rescued, and is currently home to eight. Touched by Patty's heartfelt message, Rime booked a flight and headed back to the armpit of America: New Jersey. Now for the first time the public is invited to witness the event unfold.

Check out the first issue of The Art of Storytelling magazine for the full story of the "pimp my trailer" fiasco, exclusive interviews with the residents, an in depth interview with Jersey Joe and let's not forget the aftermath. The story continues with exploding propane tanks, missing roofs, and a joy ride through the legal system. We brought along our staff photographer, Matty Brown to get some amazing portrait shots and photos, visit him at www.mattybrownphotography.com, he's dope. Also don't forget to visit Patty's website at www.rimedogrescue.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An exciting phone call came into the Saberone Studio. Ron English was coming to Los Angeles to do some guerrilla billboard work and wanted Saber to be involved.

Ron English is one of the most technically superior oil painters today. His distortion of pop culture gives us a clear vision of reality. He will always hold my respect for this and for the work he’s put in on the public level.

The billboard of choice is on the west side of La Cienega, just south of Airdrome in Mid City, a prime location. First Ron put up the bill, then Saber did his thing.

With the ladders, spray paint, rollers, wheat glue, etc., and it took a couple hours. They did it in the middle of the day, and somehow got away with it. And it looks great lit up at night.

These pieces are for sale. Check out more photos at UsVersusThem.com. For sizes and prices please email inquire@knowngallery.com.
