JABER

JABER, also known as the White Ninja, started putting his name up in the Bay Area in the early 1990s and has since spread his signature ninja-head icon around the world. An OG of American freight train graffiti, his pieces have circulated on rail cars across North America for three decades — including high-profile memorial pieces honoring fallen writers and legends of the culture. His style pulls from punk and death metal imagery, Old English lettering, and the writers he came up around. Beyond the streets, he has painted live on tour with The Roots, John Legend, A Tribe Called Quest, and Busta Rhymes.

SPRAY IN PROGRESS: THE “MALIGNANT” BUS SHELTER HAS JABER’S NAME ON IT.
