El Mac and Retna are street artists, born in LA. They use building walls as blank canvases for their imagery, and the duo has collaborated to create murals all over the world. The result is striking imagery that is unique and recognizable as theirs. Wherever they go, they try to make something that makes sense for the neighborhood and the community. And they always make something positive, something the artists hope people can enjoy – regardless of whether life has greeted them with great fortune. Armed with a vision and their cans of spray paint, El Mac and Retna will transform a forgotten wall into a piece of art.

Never Give Up, a print by Mr. Brainwash supporting Revok

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.”

The print features a dilapidated L.A. storefront, washed over with graffiti art and emblazoned with the words, “never never never never give up!” It’s Guetta’s message to Revok that he still has artistic, if not institutional, support on his own turf. Guetta hopes that other artists will join him in this venture, to completely pay off Revok’s bills. At any rate, Revok will get at least $30,000 from the proceedings — enough to get a head start on dealing with his debt.

As for Mr. Brainwash, he’s hoping that if times get tough, someday Revok might be able to repay the favor. “Sometimes we do illegal stuff,” he comments, sounding worried. “Maybe one day, it’s him who will get me out of somewhere.”
Never Give Up prints go on sale this Wednesday, June 22, for $400.00 on Mr. Brainwash’s online store.

For the latest installment of the Artist driven program, POSE & WITNES traveled to the World famous Hawleywoods Barbershop and shave parlor in Huntington beach.

After 44 days and 24,000$ of debt I am finally out of jail… Thank you soo very much to all of you people who showed your support with drawings, paintings, etc. It means a great deal to me that there are people out there that actually give a shit.

I fucked up and didn’t pay a fine or complete my court ordered community service in time… So i was arrested by the lowest of lifeforms within the L.A. Sheriffs dept.(The graffiti task force) while waiting to board a flight to Dublin at LAX. The sheriffs ended up charging me with 2 additional charges for painting 2 separate murals with the property owners consent… Apparently if you paint a mural in Los Angeles with the consent/support of the property owner it is still a crime if the said mural is not done in conjunction with the Dept. of building & safety(Never mind that the Dept. of B.S. has NEVER issued a permit for a mural) -It seems i am facing severe criminal prosecution and a major civil lawsuit if i ever paint a mural in Los Angeles again… Regardless if i am commissioned or endorsed by the building owner since i will never be issued a permit by The Dept. of BS.

Anyways thank all of you again for your support through my latest(HOPEFULLY LAST) battle with the law… This ship would have sunk deep into the depths were it not for the support of my family & friends to whom i owe a tremendous debt… I LOVE YOU GUYS, THANK YOU!

-And THANK YOU a 1,000 X’s to CASEY EKLIPS, AARON LEVANT, PAT TENORE, THE 7TH LETTER, KNOWN GALLERY, ASKEW, SAMANTH RONSON, TALLYWOOD, RETNA, POSE, 1XRUN… And last but definitely NOT least my lawyer Ton Nguyen.

And all the folks that kept my name alive in the street… RIME, ZES, AUGOR, AROE, ROID, GARY, EWOK, SEVER, STEEL, REYES, NEKST, VIZIE, VANS, CHAD MUSKA, BERST, JURNE, PHAT1, LADY DIVA, UTAH & ETHER, NOAH BANKS, WAIS, 123 KLAN, FLYING FORTRESS, WOW123, OPIEM, ALEX ONE, COPE2, BASK and anybody else i forgot or am not aware of… Thanks guys.
