“Pepper is a true street artist in the purist sense. He’s known to some by his altar ego; “The Mayor of Skid Row”.
When I was younger and creeping around downtown, I would notice these colorful, bold, and scrappy art installations. Pepper has a habit of decorating his immediate surroundings, wherever that might be, with multi-colored paint splats, piled on discarded toys, and other found objects. You can frequently catch him running around the city with his red shopping cart full of freshly discarded trinkets.
The print “Pepper’s World”, and the mural I painted on 7th and Mateo is in homage to his existence. I have enormous respect for those who can survive in such extreme conditions yet still be able to express themselves creatively…….” -SABER, 2010
