Metropark will be carrying The Seventh Letter line, as well as the 2nd edition of my book “Mad Society”. We had a small event to help school the corporate world a little. I think Metropark got it!

Here’s the piece I painted on the spot, looking out of the window of where the event was held.

THE DECLARATION- HAND TOUCHED: SABER ONE

I usually steer away from having a political edge in my art, but inherently the act of Graffiti alone is a political act, and recently I’ve found myself being pulled strongly in that direction. So I think it was the natural next step for me to want to combine the textures I use and see in the urban environment, with American icons.

In this print you see the Washington Monument. The image, at first glance to has an apocalyptic vibe, but looking further you see that the essence is actually from deconstruction, and is a way to test revolutionary ideas through the safety of visual media. All of the names scrawled into the crumbling obelisk are of those who broke the status quo with their determination to make their mark on society, rejecting existing traditions of artistic expression.

To help represent this idea, I chose a line from the Declaration Of Independence that seemed to fit the current frustrations.

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government” (World).

LOS ANGELES--Whether simple letters or elaborate, colorful designs, tagging--or graffiti--is considered vandalism and is getting a cover-up along some 100 miles of rivers, creeks, washes and channels of the Los Angeles County Drainage Area and Santa Ana River Basin. Crews from Corps of Engineers contractor BJD Resourcing are removing graffiti by water blasting rock-grouted surfaces. According to the project manager, the process helps keep the natural look of the surface.

"Other areas, where it’s a concrete wall or concrete embankment, we go ahead and cover it over with an approved paint, a waterway-safe paint," said Jeff Vaughn, project manager, BJD Resourcing.

A one-year, $837,000 contract, funded by the Recovery Act, was awarded to this small San Fernando business, to not only tackle a community nuisance, but give people jobs.

BJD’s four crews, armed with two generator-powered sprayers and 135 gallons of paint each, cover a total of about 810-thousand square feet of concrete canvas per day. Not necessary to maintain channel function, the enhancement work reduces the amount of deferred maintenance within the Los Angeles District’s flood risk management program and improves the many projects in the area.

"People that live around and work in that community are proud to be there," said Kelly Howard, operations supervisor in the District’s asset management division. "With the graffiti and so forth—urban blight, basically—what we’re trying to do is clean up our assets and make them look presentable."

The initial clean-up of all areas is expected to be completed by December. The contractor will continue to monitor and paint over problem areas for the remainder of the year-long contract.

California is in a recession and can't buy books but has money to buff the LA River.. Thank you to SABER and graffiti writers worldwide for beautifying our cities, continue the great work. Hopefully one day more people will realize how lucky they are that graffiti writers provide such great pieces of art to the world out of their pure passion for their art form.
