Graffiti street artist ABOVE just published the report about his participation in the Art Basel | Miami Beach 2011 / 1-4 |12|2011

i was flown to miami 2-months early before the start of art basel mayhem.
all of the paintings on this section were larger outdoor remakes of canvases i had painted and exhibited during the art basel artfair.

white walls gallery took care of all the responsibilities of plane flight, penthouse suite,infinite paint,
and my all i could drink bar tab i had at the deuce bar in south beach for 2-months!

my part of the deal was to be paint non-stop all day, all night!
i was chained by foot a scissor lift filled with paint supplies and commanded to paint murals.
i was only unchained for maximum of 1 hour per night to eat and drink.
when i painted slower than normal they would whip me with a cat-of-nine whip and yell obscenities at me.
