From laweekly ” Two weeks ago, the L.A. street artist Revok ended his six-month prison sentence amid fans pushing for his release. Revok was one of the participating artists in the groundbreaking ‘Art in the Streets‘ MOCA exhibit — then was promptly jailed by the Los Angeles Police Department for failing to pay restitution to plaintiffs and victims of his graffiti in a long-standing suit dating back to 2010. Now he’s out, but still faces a mound of legal fees and an exorbitant bail, set at a cool third of a million. In the mean time, his friends have come together to lend him a hand, and help him get back on his feet. Thierry Guetta, a.k.a. Mr. Brainwash, the elusive and controversial subject of Banksy’s Exit through the Gift Shop, has created a limited-edition art print entitled Never Give Up, dedicated to Revok. Guetta tells LA Weekly that the proceeds from the sales of the work will function as a general supporting fund for Revok — “bail, apartment, whatever he needs.” “

From Eric Bailey @ birdsandbullets.com “Knowing when something is finished is my toughest challenge for any given project big or small. I find myself mulling over small decisions and minor details for hours sometimes. Becoming prolific and confident in your choices is the only way to wrap it up.Here is the process for the digital painting I did for Big K.R.I.T. As you can see it went through a lot of stages before ending up where it’s at. Luckily when working digitally you can make these decisions and edits easily as you go.”
