REVOK News: Reasons For His Arrest And How To Support Him
The Real Reason Revok Was Arrested
Melrose & Fairfax posted a very interesting article. The "Revok-Case" is pretty weird with him being arrested only a week after "Art in the streets" opened at MOCA and the high bail amount, etc. so I wouldn't be surprised if their accusations against the LAPD are true.
The trumped up charges against Revok have reeked of suspicion ever since his arrest. From nabbing Revok in the first place for a parole violation and not a new crime, to the exorbitant $320,000 bail, to be sentenced to half a year in jail a day after the arrest, the whole thing seemed like there was something bigger going on.
The LAPD were clearly looking for someone to make an example of doing graffiti outside MOCA. But when they hadn't made an arrest on the streets after the first week, they wanted a high profile name to take down. There was probably a short list of high profile arrests, so short, there was probably only one name on it--Revok.

Here we go again! Some gems I've found in my "Twitter-Art-List-Timeline" the last days. Make sure to click on the links, because I only post one picture and often there are way more! Oh, and follow all these people if you have a Twitter, because they are awesome and many of them (like Revok, for example) post so much great stuff that it doesn't all fit into this tiny little blog post! And check out their blogs, subscribe to them etc., you know the deal, it's called SUPPORT!

I bet you've expected some graffiti artist! Well, this time it's all about Photography! Willie T.'s "Special Art Post" has been a long time coming! If you are interested in cool events, like Art Basel, the premiere of Banksy's "Exit Through The Gift Shop", or just some private party with cool people, like 50 Cent, you just have to stumble upon Willie T's photos one day. I saw his work for the first time when I was browsing Known Gallery's website and I got really hooked on it, when I saw this picture he made of artist Push:
Next to Photography, he's also active in filming. On his vimeo profile he writes:
