Sabo Poster

I'm a huge fan of banksy as I was first turned on to guerrilla art by his unique form of graffiti. Though his art sometimes has political undertones, it's not the summary of his work. I'm a big political junkie and I recall after first being turned on to banksy's work how effective that his street-centric style of art could potentially be extremely influential if he incorporated a more overt political angle to it.

Banksy never went that route but I began looking for artists of this type. Only a few did anything I found very interesting until I found Sabo. His work differed from banksy's style but in my opinion it was (and still is) just as good... perhaps better. For example, here's an unsolicited poster he did for Ted Cruz, a very buttoned up constitutional conservative who is quite interesting if however mild and semi robotic. As I have come to learn, Sabo was a fan of Cruz but felt he needed more street cred. He felt that he could be the one to lend him such an asset.

Sabo created the preceding poster to prop up Cruz and give him the aforementioned much-needed "street" appeal. His approach was so compelling that Cruz ultimately learned of his work and asked if he could sell the posters on his political 20016 presidential campaign web site during the republican primary.

I wanted so badly to buy one but apparently they were in limited supply and I missed out. I have subsequently become a huge fan of Sabo's work and follow him closely. He's ABSOLUTELY an artist to check out. You can see more of Sabo's work at http://unsavoryagents.com
