Meet Fabian “Spade” Debora, one of the artists of the L.A. Graffiti Black Book.

https://shop.getty.edu/products/l-a-graffiti-black-book-978-1606066980

Fabian’s art is inspired by his lived experience as an ex-gang member and as an Angeleno.

Today, he is the founder of Homeboy Art Academy, a space to create access to art for gang-affected youth.

Fabian contributed to the L.A. Graffiti Black Book, now available from Getty Publications, along with 150 other Los Angeles-based street and graffiti artists. The project was inspired by a 17th-century manuscript in Getty’s collections named Liber Amicorum (Book of Friends).
