Nah SKAB, what you do isn’t destruction, it’s communication. It breaks down barriers, it crosses society, it rages against the cookie cutter bullshit. Keep it up!
Thanks for Documenting SA and its artists. This place is going to blow up soon and we need real ones that document this stuff. I hope we start pushing our own artists before a bunch of outsiders come in and and take all the attention because we dont support our own all too often.
@@internetdeli3379 Real statement. We have been blowing up too but the city is getting sold and the ones from here and getting pushed out too we gotta keep up so good statement
@internetdeli3379 I've tried trust me. I opened a creative community center called Artbox and I have thrown over 250+ events with artists of all kinds. I know all the graff heads out here and most of them know me too. It's just the city is hard to keep inspired.
🥂 to the king of the graffiti game in SA. Didn’t know he had more than one tag but it makes sense. I remember seen his old tags back in the day and only seen Skab the last 10 years. Speaking of UTM I see a lot of love for other artists on here but no one mentioning Hek. He was all over the town in the late 90s and 2000s. I heard a story back then he had to change his tag because the cops knew who he was and would go after him for every time they’d see him hit up somewhere.
The first dude I saw hit up UTM was Sniper and i use to be USA with Teal ,Toon ,EZ and for me Same UTM was the best boomer to me and im from the West Side and then went to the NC ! Im 44 yrs old
Nah, just retire being a drag on the community already. Especially where you live. It's sad to see an old man still tagging, especially on a bicycle. 😂 You're gonna need some reading glasses and a rascal soon. 😂 GTFOH you look ridiculous, nobody envies you. 😂
@ I have 2 jobs. Lol. Bro being a burden on society and has no self respect as a family man with kids. Just another drug addict on a bike who doesn’t want to be a responsible adult.
48 and still tagging, catching cases and shooting at people for crossing him out on property that isn’t his. I see other artists getting paid to create pieces in broad daylight. 13 years in prison and then says I don’t hurt anybody, I just take care of my parents. But then goes blasting at someone and gets locked up. You’re hurting your parents by getting locked up. Grow up man. Find an another type of adrenaline rush and be a good human.
I'm accountable for. My shit..... That's what he said loud and clear.. Scab is part of San Antonio history... He'll ya.. You can tag my garage any day..... Scab is a modern-day picasso, and San Antonio is your canvas,...my Respect....All Day
I Love seeing SKABS work. However, I am surprised no one is talking about WERKS in the comment section. Dude had a bounty on him by Crime Stoppers for how much destruction of property the dude caused.
SKAB = SNIPER KNOWN AS BESTA UTM- UP TO MISCHIEF SKAB was raised in the area I was raised in (Blanco and Basse area). I remember seeing “SO” tagged everywhere- SNIPER ONE. Then went to AJAX THEN BESTA And like he said 30 years later it’s SKAB. I wanna say VICS was SEK… he use to tag “SO. SEK” a lot
@@josiahamazetrue....SKAB UTM since 95 been seeing as well as SIK AND ETHER bunch of OGs fell off but ya still remember an argument i had turned physical about RNS being around longer than UTM nope get your facts straight...JEZ checking in since 07 stay up homies
Legend? Dude is 48yrs old and rides a bicycle while still vandalizing and degrading where he lives. He should spend time with his children and or do some volunteer work. Dude is a loser....and not because I say so.
Who remembers DAL? Or EASY from PD. FSU In the 90s when SKAB was Sniper One he would tag along side gangs like BxC frost … BIG RED BTK …using HELLO STICKERS to tag on and put them on stop signs .or the stop signs on blanco rd … can’t 🛑 UTM
Met this dude once at claw caps 20+ years ago. Seen his work on box car in san marcos off side of 35. But come on yo, gotta let some things go. Especially at 48yrs old. Too old for shenanigans. Raise some kids or find something else to live for
I grew up looking up to this dude, met him at San Pedro skate park, and he always treated me like a close friend any time we saw each other since. Real stand up guy, I’m glad this is the guy repping our city. (He always keeps a few cans of dog food in his trunk in case he sees any stays)
Damn thats dope, how do you bump in to these dudes. Where do graff writers hang out? Im big in to hip hop and always loved graff writing but no clue where the culture even exists
His “philosophy” is full of contradictions. A 48yr old employed taxpayer “environmentalist Anarchist” Ok…the system thanks you for your submission and contribution. I really hope he’s vegan.
Man I can't believe they recently painted over that warehouse on culebra heading towards downtown right off of the interstate across the street from that bbq chicken joint SCABS TAG WAS THE BIGGEST TAG ON THE HARDEST SPOT ON THE ROOF 💯 SCAB needs to come back and claim his tag back from that new paint job makes it look like a fresh pointed turd without the tags lmao🤟💯
“UTM”UP TO MISCHIEF CREW 1992” SNIPER (SKAB), SEE, RIME, FUSE, SCRIBE, GREEN, RISK, PHASE San Antonio didn’t know what tagging was at the time. SOY“FUSEONE”OXC”SANTAANA”CALIF”UTM CREW”210”
I don’t remember DEMS. When I was a kid, I’ll alway see MEGA all over. Alway remember me of the old MEGA food stores we use to have in the 80s…. RIP Handy Andy 😆
I think he lives somewhere 281 North Bitters Thousand Oaks area. I say this because all over SA, he tags on places that’s never get covered up for the most part. However, if you go on the 281 area by Nakoma and Bitters and even up to 1604. He’ll tag stuff up that gets taken down. So maybe he’s like screw it I’ll take the bridge on 281 and like north woods … see if they’ll take it down. It got painted over by the city in 4 days. The most random spot I’ve see SKAB tag is Bulverde Rd as it meets Thousand Oaks, there’s a lot of steel just placed in some random yard and he tagged on it. You can miss it if you don’t look to the right … random
I think as a Christian it's not the Christian thing to do he should know that God and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and God don't want him to do that it's vandalism if he read this my church is on 5525 Blanco next to Chicago pizza my pastor name is pastor Aguilar next to a Cuba store
Wow this shit is crazy ...homie SKAB is a legend here in the 210 shout out to him ..crazy how you found him...much love to graffiti art real shit from exit 11
Yo I moved over here like 14 years ago n I’ve been wondering about this guy skab u be every where I put gas and I see your writing on the pump 😂 🫡 props to your work
Really makes the city look trashy . 48 years old bro?? Come on man You gonna be climbing rooftops at 80? How you expect to retire and who's going to take care of you. You are setting a poor example whether you realize it or not. Let someone come and vandalize your commercial building and see how much it cost you. Matching energy is ridiculous. 2 wrongs makes a right huh?
Lived in the 210 my whole life and you can't go anywhere without seeing a SKAB tag, fuckin icon! 🔥
Facts!! Dude is an under cover celebrity
Nah SKAB, what you do isn’t destruction, it’s communication. It breaks down barriers, it crosses society, it rages against the cookie cutter bullshit. Keep it up!

UTM- UP TO MISCHIEF
SKAB was raised in the area I was raised in (Blanco and Basse area).
I remember seeing “SO” tagged everywhere- SNIPER ONE.
Then went to AJAX
THEN BESTA
And like he said 30 years later it’s SKAB.

“SO. SEK” a lot

I from 210 and I’ve been seeing SKAB get up since 2000 until present day. Spots in Austin too. Pass by a SKAB tag everyday. ❤
No shit!? Didn’t expect to hear Canoga Park LA. That’s where I’m from.. well it’s the valley but still. Props to Skab
Seen him from Austin to SA to Houston
Been seeing this name since I was 20 yrs old. Don't agree with his way of thinking about it but he is a legend in the 210.
Bro I nearly saw ur tag in the west side
I'm a long way from SA but I see his tag on train cars nearly every day.
Absolutely a legend in San Antonio!!! Awesome video!!

He said he doesn't have kids, and not everyone wants smelly sticky loud ass kids. Some people enjoy freedom.
That’s like telling drug addict to stop. However, tagging is a victim less crime
I just wanna say I love this channel and the things you do on here it’s cool to learn new things about my home town ❤
I remember seeing DiGeT back in the day all over san antonio, I think that was the name lol 😆
He’s UTM now!
Also duo and viper and fire and super also mega if I remember right
SKAB is a savage absolutely LOVE his work
In my hometown there's a writer who writes scabs
SKAB still pushing paint enjoy the views from up the bro bro
