    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.

    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 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
