		<description><![CDATA[Famed street artist Saber took to the skies above L.A.'s City Hall and Downtown to send a message on Monday (September 19), via sky-writing plans that zoomed around the skies and leaving names and messages throughout the day. This is the video of the feat, and Saber's explanation below (via SaberOne.com): The reason I hired five jet planes to sky write over City Hall and downtown Los Angeles is to bring awareness to how ridiculous a moratorium on public art is. The city states that all public murals are signage, effectively banning art from the walls of Los Angeles...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[L.A. street artist/graff legend, Saber, knows how to get up. He became legendary in the 1990s after the completion of a monstrous L.A. River piece so big it took weeks to finish ... and today, he's taking the term, "getting up", to a whole new level. On Monday (September 19), he took to the skies of Los Angeles to send a message to local government -- #ArtIsNotACrime. Various skywriting-equipped planes zoomed around the skies Monday, taunting officials with various words and phrases. Saber got up each member of his MSK/AWR crew in the sky -- including REVOK, and Risk, among others...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a trailer for a new documentary from Breadtruck Films, based in both San Diego and San Francisco, titled "Working Class." The film, which the company calls "a modern day interpretation of Charles Dickens' <i>Tale of Two Cities</i> book, is comprised of discussions with famed artists, Mike Giant of San Francisco and Mike Maxwell of San Diego who talk about the themes found in the 1859 Dickens book that are just as relevant today as they were in the past. From religion, country and war, history, the economy, and art, each are chapters that tell the tale of the artists, the cities, and America...]]></description>

Recently, news surfaced that Cha has teamed up with rising streetwear brand Black Scale for a collaborative garment, which is set to drop next Saturday (September 17) ... and of course, has been adding ink to some big names.

		<description><![CDATA[Los Angeles graffiti legends, Risk and Retna, have teamed up with a charity called Heal the Bay, in an effort to keep the Santa Monica bay clean and free from pollution. The two artists paired up for an installation they had been secretly working on for the last two months, in which they decorated a million dollar Santa Monica residence with their incredible art. The charitable project began when fourth-generation Santa Monica resident, Adam Corlin, purchased a property that had been sitting on the market for months...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[L.A. City Councilman, Dennis Zine, is known for his strong stance against graffiti. Reports say he got the Aaron Brothers to back off its graffiti-themed back-to-school promotion previously, but he couldn't stop the success of the recent MOCA "Art In The Streets" exhibit. But, he doesn't care and won't stop, and is now targeting anyone who buys spray paint, reports <em>L.A. Weekly</em>. Zine recently introduced a motion, which he touts as a measure to "strengthen graffiti laws," that would require stores to obtain and file the name and address of anyone who purchases spray cans...]]></description>
