SABER Censors His Art After LA River Attack
SABER hasn’t said much publicly since the federally-funded attack on his LA River mural, until now. After spying on the whitewashing work from afar, the Los Angeles-based graffiti writer actually felt “a calming sense of accomplishment” and went home and made some prints to sell you, saying “After I got back home from the river I was inspired to make some adjustments to a small number of the river posters I have, one hundred of them in total. They were signed, dated, numbered, and hand touched, all on the day it was buffed.” ($50)

try to make a buck off anything… graffiti has sold out..
hey, the mans gotta eat right? besides, spray paint, time, the risk, print making all costs money, you think its free? you, my friend, aint got shit on graff artists. He’s be selling out if he sold it for $200.00 bucks a piece, $50.00 is reasonable.
