b'
Saber is our special guest this week on Yoshi Didn\\u2019t.\\xa0 This Los Angeles-based American graffiti artist and painter is most famous for the immense piece he did on the concrete bank of the\\xa0Los Angeles River. With 97 gallons of paint, Saber traversed the\\xa0Stygian\\xa0corridor\\xa0of the mighty L.A. river like Dante passing through\\xa0the\\xa0ninth\\xa0circle of Hell, and created a masterpiece:\\xa0The final work, measuring 250 x 55 feet, has been dubbed "the largest graffiti painting ever."
A hardcore street artist who possesses the\\xa0artistic\\xa0talent of\\xa0Michelangelo with the physical toughness of\\xa0Lawrence\\xa0Taylor, Saber speaks intimately with us about his harsh experiences and struggles with epilepsy; his childhood, when he first discovered a love for art; and his transformation into the premier artist of his generation. Saber discusses the physical price he had to pay to achieve success, and\\xa0his belief that art can\\xa0change\\xa0the world for the better. The podcast ends with Yoshi\'s "art project" for Saber and his beautiful and\\xa0vivacious\\xa0young daughter. Enjoy!
