ON THE EASEL
ON THE EASEL
Before a painting becomes a print, a product, or a collector piece, it starts on the easel. On The Easel brings together SAVO’s process videos, live painting archives, studio clips, and finished artwork stories — showing how each piece moves from idea, to canvas, to Tha Block.
Biggie — The First Painting of Tha Block
The painting that started everything. Live on Twitch. An easel that was a chair. A canvas left outside a door. Biggie is where Tha Block began.
This is the origin story — the first real proof of SAVO turning limited resources, live process, Hip-Hop storytelling, and raw creativity into a full art movement.
Paintings With A Story
These works connect the finished artwork to the process behind it — the videos, live streams, studio moments, and stories that help collectors understand the work beyond the image.

The Finished Painting Is Only Part Of The Story
The process shows the time, rhythm, decisions, mistakes, music, memory, and movement behind the work. For collectors, fans, and grant reviewers, On The Easel gives proof that the art is not just an image — it is a lived creative practice.
Each video becomes part of the record: how the painting started, what shaped it, where it fits in the larger SAVO888 story, and how it connects back to Tha Block.
