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>

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>
