Leon "Tes One" Bedore has been scrawling, spraying and painting art on walls since his youth. He came into renown in the early '90s for his murals and graffiti art throughout Tampa Bay. In 1999, he integrated his talents with the tools of the Information Age to become a reputed commercial graphic artist. Click here to see some of his work.
Career pursuits aside, the artist still tags a wall now and then to make a statement. Last September he created a mural for wall in Brooklyn to celebrate the repeal of "Ask Don't Tell": "Honesty is the Best Policy."
All proceeds from the release of "Stand Our Ground" print will be donated to Justice for Trayvon and their advocacy efforts. Click here to place an order for the print.
