Meet Fabian “Spade” Debora, contributing artist to the L.A. Graffiti Black Book—a collaborative project capturing the work of Los Angeles Graffiti and Street artists.

L.A based graffiti artist Fabian explores 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.

The L.A. Graffiti Black Book is now available from Getty Publications, along with works by 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).
