Scored somewhat ironically to James Brown’s classic “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine,” the latest in LRG’s Artist Series of videos documents the creation of an impressive “Free Revok” mural by Noah Banks. Equipped with a head cam, Noah treks out to one of his favorite spots to create the piece – part of a continuously growing movement to draw attention to fellow artist Revok’s recent 180-day jail sentence and incarceration.
