Banksy? Is that you? Street art in LA take three.
kid and his teddy bear
I was getting gas near West Hollywood today, and LO AND BEHOLD, a Banksy blast. At least I think. Another pissing animal. And another statement on the complacency of modern-day human beings in first-world countries. Fittingly, I purchased a number of bottled coffees, a Squirt and a tub of butter from the gas station after taking this picture. Banksy = spot-on.
New LA Street Art! In Beverly Hills! Banksy?
Today I was lucky. I was driving, AND I encountered this. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS – I have apparently run into a new Banksy piece just days after its “installation!” WINNING (See article at Complex.com)
Banksy – is that you?!
I lurve it. Interesting to note – it was in Beverly Hills. Not exactly known for its street art – potentially because it’s its own incorporated city within LA, so the police and residents blahblahblah are perhaps a little more stringent with “rules.” Anyhoo, it was on the side of one of the buildings that is under renovation somewhat near Rodeo.
Update: Google search reveals: There is another far more dark (emotionally) piece in Hollywood!
Leaving your mark in LA.
SECOND “M” DEEMED UNNECESSARY
If I was ever to leave LA, there’s one thing in particular I would miss. The street art.
I went through a phase last year – you know, work was hard and I was really lost blahblahblah – and the thought of working toward street-art fame became the answer to all my problems. I had a street name – Bumble Bea – and I created a motto image at work by remotely accessing the Adobe Creative Suite on my home laptop. I had plans to mass produce the image and subsequently worked to figure out how to pull a “Shepard Fairey” and brush an enlarged version of my signature “bee” onto the side of a vacant building in the Fairfax District. #pipedreams
