I saw this on the way to work a few days ago, but my cell phone camera is way too crappy to take a decent picture from long range. Anyways, after doing a quick search on the internet I found a great photo, compliments of Graffhead.com.
I Wonder If This Is The Work Of The Decepticons

All In A Days Work

So here's a little video a friend and I made a few years back with no budget, only a weeks worth of brainstorming, and one day of guerilla style shooting all over Los Angeles. It's called Down For Tha Fight, and it is by everyone's favorite Old English swigging Bay Area rapper, Motion Man. Unfortunately some of the ideas we had didn't pan out, and the guy who was supposed to do graphics on this flaked out, so it was never "completed" the way I had hoped. Oh well, its still kind of cool regardless.

Go Lakers Part 2 (Round 3)

For over a year at least there was a sick mural on the 110 South under the bridge right before the Chinatown Exit. It was a "GO LAKERS" piece by RUETS. Anyways, a few weeks ago the spot got buffed, a new piece was up which ran for a little bit, and then the spot got buffed again. So on the way to work today I looked up and low and behold, a new "GO LAKERS" themed purple and gold piece by RUETS. NICE!!! Unfortunately I had to steal these pics from a GRAF site, but I'm going to try to snap a few of my own before it gets buffed again.

Popeye The Sailor... Ahem... Tagger Man

I thought this was kind of funny. Someone is going around town using the moniker "Popeye". What sacred cartoon character name will fall next? Gargamel?

Reflect Art Show - Photo Booth Photos

I have to give it up to Lawrence Cassel, the man running the Photo Booth at the Reflect Art Show Saturday night. Not only did he take a ton of awesome photos FOR FREE, he also had them up for everyone to look at in less than 4 days! To see the entire collection go to his site, or else you can just look at the ones of us and our friends below...

Reflect Art Show

This weekend my fiancee and I went down to the warehouse/ industrial district just east of Downtown LA and on the edge of Boyle Heights to catch an art show opening that a friend of ours REFLECT put on. While I generally make it a point to never go to this area if at all possible, sometimes you just wind up there... The art show was held in a warehouse turned loft, and despite being in a super vacant industrial area, parking was a royal pain in the arse. We eventually found the parking lot that the show had set up, but only after driving in circles for about 10 minutes. Oh yeah, this parking lot was about 5 blocks away, and in one corner of it there was a homeless tent city... NICE! We waited another 10 minutes or so until the rest of our friends had arrived, paid the 5 dollar fee, and walked over to the show. The art show was pretty cool, and only cost $10 to get in. Unfortunately, between the two of us we only had about $60 in cash to start with. and one of our other friends forgot to bring cash, so by the time we paid for parking and entry we were down to only $20! Knowing that people usually charge an arm and a leg for drinks we figured at least we had enough for one beer each...LAME! Anyway, as soon as you walked into the front room of the place you were in the art gallery section. There was maybe about 10 or so people who had art in there so it was a pretty cool and diverse range of things to look at. Once we checked out the art, we followed our ears to the sounds of the bass thumping away, and walked into the back room/ warehouse area of the building. In one corner stood the DJs and bar, and in the other corner a mini ramp! Unfortunately I quit skating several years ago like a complete retard, and would have probably gotten worked had i attempted it, but seeing that empty mini ramp sure made me want to skate. Turns out that the mini ramp was there for a reason, because the building we were in happend to be the loft of Clint Peterson, a pro skater who rides for Stereo. I also took notice that there were a ton of Skate All Cities stickers and tags slapped up in this place so I figured it had to be someone cool who owned it. After looking at some graffiti pieces in there on the walls, I noticed that a crowd had started to gather around someone painting live art to the music. That someone happened to be Mear One! It took an hour or so before he finished his painting, but it came out great, and it was super cool to see one of my favorite graffiti artists do some work live and in person. I wound up talking to him for a little bit and he was way cool! The rest of the night consisted of walking around looking at art, taking photos at the complimentary photo booth, and reminiscing with old friends. Next thing we knew it was a little after 2am and we decided to call it a night. And a very fun night it was. Thanks for hosting such a neat shin-dig REFLECT, and we look forward to many more in the near future. Keep up the good work!

An Attempt To One Up Fart & Barf?

So a few posts ago I noticed two up and coming writers who went by the names of Fart and Barf. Coincidentally I saw another writer's tag on a van today, who seems to be taking the name game to the next level...
A Rival?... Or Member Of The Same Posse?

Fart & Barf

The headline says it all...
The Dynamic Duo Strikes Again!

POTA Poster

Saw this in Downtown Los Angeles over by the Staples Center. Being a big fan of the original Planet Of The Apes movie, I hope to see more of these pop up over town...
Its A City Of Apes!

El Barto???

Saw this on the 10 West this morning while stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.

Graffiti With A Message

Saw this on the way to work today under a bridge on the 110 South right before Chinatown. I'm glad to see some writers out there are supporting the team!

Memorial Day Weekend Adventure - Part 1

What better way to spend the Memorial Day weekend, then by being up north in San Francisco and Sacramento doing a white water rafting and camping trip! We left Thursday night after work and drove up to San Fran so we would have a whole day to spend down on Haight St. and could then chill out and watch the Lakers game later that night. On the way to Haight St. we picked up another friend of mine who I hadn't seen in a while, Gry aka Norman Luvs Kix, since he recently moved up to S.F. with his girlfriend to study Molecular Biology. It was a perfect day in SF and we made the most of the 3 or 4 hours we were there on Haight. Aside from eating at Cha Cha Cha's, a delicious Tapas Bar, we pretty much just wandered around and browsed the shops and laughed at all the hippies, burn-outs and sleaze bag bums offering to sell us various things. I also took a minute to check out all the crazy graffiti around the area and was blown away as usual. You gotta love SF! Afterwards we went home and watched the Lakers destroy San Antonio. Then we went to sleep at a decent hour since we had an early departure to drive over to Sacto and the American River to get our rafting and camping trip started off...
