Space Invader Gets Zapped

A long time installation from Space invader got taken off this wall on Sunset.

While it is easy to understand how someone would want a piece of street art, or a Space Invader for that matter, it remains puzzling why someone would take an installation like this. Since none of it is attached, without the shape of what it is, once you take it off the wall aren't you just left with a pile of tiles?

The remains are up with Bankrupt Slut, Koffinz, and ASVP.

Bigger, Higher, Slammed

The parking lot next to De La Barracuda is filled up with street art once again. It is slammed, and bigger and higher than ever.

There is a bunch of new stuff, including a high up piece that looks like it might be from famous graffiti writer Push. Click the jump for more

This should be a daily update of the new stuff on this wall. Look below for pics of the new stuff.


^Is this Push from the Seventh Letter ?


^Push, Cyrcle, Zombie and unknown carrot character

Boner Patrol

A whole grip of insane artwork on the Sunset Pacific, including a new 'Boner Patrol' from Bankrupt Slut. Click the jump for more

Actually, Bankrupt Slut is reppin Boehner Patrol, not 'Boner'. It appears to be commentary on Rep. John Boehner's thrust to try and defund Planned Parenthood. We agree, and keep your Boehner's out of our bodies!

This whole building is slammed with awesome street art. Huge piece from Space Invader.

Also joined by ASVP, Eddie, Jaw, JDI, Gats, Obey, D Young V, Calli Killa, and many more.

Confetti Head Sociability

A little pink street art corner in Silverlake.

With street art from ASVP, Pornography and Taxidermy, Homo Riot, TSF, Kuasy, Nerve, Prick, Tlck, and more.

ASVP Street Art in Downtown Los Angeles

Not the greatest shot. Had to shoot it from the car. But a super hot spot right on a freeway ramp in downtown LA.

From New York based street art collective ASVP

Dirty Little Corner

Some fresh new art work in this dirty little corner in an alleyway off La Brea, including a brand new design from Bankrupt Slut.

New piece from Bankrupt Slut featuring a sexy girl farting out 'Bankrupt'.

Joining a wall with street art from Dint Wooer, Feral Child, ASVP, and a fill-in behind the dumpster from Bran One TRB.

Guerilla Street Art

Not in the act, but an actual guerilla. Click the jump for more

Found this guy hanging out on the traction wall downtown.

We always dig 3d art, and even if it is just a child's toy, we love that it brings us back to the place where we thought these toys were cool.

In front of street art from ASVP and Dint Wooer Krsna.

Fresh Street Art At De La Barracuda

A lot of fresh new street art popped up in the parking lot next to De La Barracuda on Melrose. Click the jump for more

After most of the art was selectively buffed last month, whole grip of new fresh street has resurfaced.

New pieces, and few old, from Zombie, Cyrcle, Insurgency Inc, CiBass, Bankrupt Slut, ASVP, Septerhed, Goober.

And not sure what's going on with the graffiti towards the back. Bran One TRB rolled through with some hollow throwies, and Nolie came by and went over the bottom part of Bran One's spots. Its interesting because its not a full cap, just the bottom part. Anyone know the story behind this?

Huge piece of hand drawn art from unknown artist. ***Thanks to a viewer for pointing this out, the artist might be San Francisco based Feral. Thanks***

We love the feel of this piece.

Also up with ASVP, Supreme, Bran One TRB, TSF and Busa(?)

Love Me, But Don't Love This

MELROSEandFAIRFAX is big fans of the 'Love Me' street campaign by artist Curtis Kulig, but we are not enjoying his latest addition to what was a beautiful street art wall. We feel that this addition doesn't add anything, but takes away, and guarantees that this wall will be buffed soon, just like the two other walls that Love Me did this to (one time going over a Banksy piece on Beverly).

In general, we love the way the 'Love Me' tag looks, and think that this fire extinguisher effect would look great on an empty wall.

But by going over a wall full of art, it looks bad and ruins the art.

And Curtis has done this to two other massive art walls in Los Angeles within the last year on a building front on Beverly going over dope pieces from Banksy, Inept, Dog Byte and others, and a slammed alley way further up La Brea. Both walls had ridden for a long time, but were buffed clean soon after they were hit up by the 'Love Me'.

This particular piece seems to be very poorly done. If we hadn't seen other new street art from Curtis in the area recently, we might think this was a hack job. The style is done very sloppy, and aside from going over all the street art, it is just the wrong building for this. With the signs and door overhang, it is not a flat canvas, and the piece looks very weak and awkward.

Simply put, we don't love this, and some might say it is the height of a spot jack.

Up on the wall before the 'love' was street art from BAnkrupt Slut, The Loyal Subjects, ASVP, Zombie, Alec, Septerhed, Insurgency Inc, JTS, Cyrcle, Leba, low_d, and a few more.

More Free Street Art from 2wenty - 1/3

More free street art has shown up on Melrose, this time featuring Facebook Cigarettes from 2wenty.

Like before, we are playing a game with this. We are making 3 posts with the free stuff, and 2/3 posts have locations of the free art.

Click the jump to see if it is the location, and hurry to the get the piece--we have heard these are hot items!

This is not a location with free art, just with a new Facebook Cigarettes paste up on the wall, along with a new Monopoly Man from Alec Monopoly, joining art from ASVP, 2wenty, Publish Enemies, Swift, Zombie, Insurgency Inc, Jackpot, I Nobody Guerillarms and more.

KZR(?)

An unusual new piece of street art. Think it spells KZR(?), and it looks like a big sticker, but we are not sure what material was used.

Under a non-buffed 'Down to Earth' piece of street art from ASVP.

Blinky Pinky MotherFucker

More new pieces of street art from Blinky up across the street from Pink's in Los Angeles.

And yesterday some motherfucker stole my bike that is shown a little in the pic. Fuck the douchebags. We might post a feature on the robbery later, but for now click the jump to see more Blinky.

Blinky up with street art from ASVP.

Blinky Street Art

It seems the earlier a person is introduced to something, the bigger fan one tends to be.

We first saw Blinky years ago when we were just visiting LA, and a friend who was a fan pointed a piece out.

We haven't seen much of Blinky on the streets since. Not sure where Blinky is based, maybe been out of town. But all of a sudden Blinky pops up again in the same exact spot we saw it years ago.

Dig it~

It might appear that Blinky ripped down the ASVP poster, but there was an advert clipping the top part of that, and it looks like Blinky tried to preserve the ASVP.

On the second up with Bankrupt Slut and unknown artists.

ASVP -Yours Truly

Really beautiful street art from International sensations ASVP~

Fresh Street Art at De La Barracuda

The main wall got buffed, but strangely enough, it seems the buffers selected the pieces they liked, and those they did not paint over.

Also, even though the buff is just a day old, new art has already sprung up . . .

The street art that survived the buff is the ASVP piece on the pole, Mar up top around back, the Macbeth graffiti cat by Dan Smith, and a Hugh Lee Man piece in back.

New stuff sprouted up already from Alec, AJL, and Bran One TRB. It looks like Alec's Monopoly Man face has been filled in and AJL's girl has had some white modifications.
