Interview and action painting with artist Mear, from Los Angeles.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mear One, born 1971 as Kalen Ockerman in Santa Cruz, California, is a Los Angeles-based fine artist, famously known for his often-political street graffiti art. Commonly referred to as the 'Michelangelo' of graffiti, Mear One is commonly associated with CBS (Can't Be Stopped - City Bomb Squad) and WCA (West Coast Artist) crews. As a graphic designer, Mear One has designed apparel for Conart, Kaotic, as well as his own Reform brand. Mear One has done album covers for artists like Freestyle Fellowship, Alien Nation, Limp Bizkit, Busdriver and Daddy Kev.

In 2004, Mear One joined artists Shepard Fairey and Robbie Conal to create a series of "anti-war, anti-Bush" posters for a street art campaign called "Be the Revolution" for the art collective Post Gen.

I just came from watching a TKO war42 video....interesting to contrast the type of messages from that with what MEAR's pushing. Very inspiring positive stuff. I'm glad I watched this.
