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.
