Special Art Post #6: SABER
It's been a long time since I've posted my last "Special Art Post" about Willie T., so I think it's time for another one. I've decided to dedicate #6 to artists SABER, because he's one of the best graffiti artists, he completed the largest graffiti piece on the cement bank of Los Angeles River in 1997 (blood shedding included), he has probably the coolest website, and.... he's cool. Actually this is not really an easy post to do, because SABER has done so many art pieces throughout the years and there's tons of material on the web, including probably more interesting articles about him on bigger sites. So this post is more like a little introduction of SABER and a little summary of what you can find on the web about him. I strongly recommend to click your way though his website, blog and other pages, because there is way more stuff than I can post here.

David Flores ATC: #4-27
Okay, I have to admit, I kind of neglected David Flores_ATC's awesome project. In case you have forgotten already, he wanted to paint one picture every day for the whole year. As his works are pretty awesome, this was really good news and I wanted to post his pictures here every day. Let's just pretend that I did, okay? Here are #4 to #10. You'll find the rest HERE or HERE!
Now, instead of posting one pic every day, I just post the pictures here on a weekly basis. If you still want to see them every day, follow David on Twitter
or add him on Facebook.

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:
Filming is something that I'm never thought I was going to be doing, I always thought I would end up with a career that I would in be happy with but filming is were I can express my Art, I feel that every moment I capture someone in front of my lens is a Memory they leave behind.. Someone told me once in my life what kind of legacy do you want people to remember you by! And I was like Wooooo do I have something to leave behind? That was my question to myself and now I do I think I do. I thank God everyday of my life for this chance and opportunity in what I call a Second chance.. So please take a look at my work and feel free to drop me a message or leave me a Comment.
So let's take a look at his work!
