Art: Skywriting with Shepard Fairey, RISK, Revok & Saber
Los Angeles was once the ‘Mural Capital of the World’ and should claim that title again. Murals are not signs and art is not a crime! To make this statement, Obey Giant (brainchild of Shepard Fairey) hooked up with RISK, Revok and Saber to go skywriting. Graffiti in the sky, how sick is that?
Los Angeles municipal code defines murals as signs and the permitting process constitutes an effective ban on this art. Art in the public space is necessary for a healthy visual environment, a counter balance to gray walls and endless advertising.
