Exclusive Actions Shots - Gregory Siff (pt 1/2)

MELROSEandFAIRFAX had the chance to snap some exclusive actions shots of Gregory Siff painting a rooftop spot.

Gregory is a natural in front of the camera, and we had a great time shooting him in action, and behind the scenes.

Gregory brought his 'Skull With Burning Heart' freehand/stencil piece in his 3 signature colors- sky blue, shock yellow, and ketchup red.

In addition to being a talented artist, Gregory is also one of the nicest people in the world. He has a true artist's soul. And it has been awesome watching his career take off higher and higher. He has been getting some prestigious gigs. Last month, Gregory painted The Standard in downtown Los Angeles, and today he has been commissioned to paint the wall at De La Barracuda on Melrose.

Gregory is one of the few street artists who thrive getting up, and in the studio. It is always special when Gregory brings his art to the streets, and we are honored to have Gregory in our line-up for the upcoming art show 'What Graffiti is to New York - Street Art is to Los Angeles', later this month.

Stay up~

We had a great time visting the Door 2 Door Adore live painting event at the Portfolio 360 Gallery yesterday. The paint off between Gregory Siff and Louis Cannizzaro was more of a love fest than a battle, largely due to the folks at Atelier360. The have made a great set up that includes a salon and gallery in separate, adjoining buildings. It is a supportive area for artists and art lovers and a large crowd kept rolling through the whole time we were there. We counted no less that 6 professional cameras covering the event (not including ours).

We have been big fans of Gregory's street art for a long time. We love the innocent, bright colors, and the meanings that Gregory attaches to them. It was also wonderful to meet Louis Cannizzaro. A cool guy and brilliant artist.

It was really great to talk with Gregory about art. He is truly 'renaissance' with many different artistic pursuits ranging from street art, to fashion to film. Gregory has shown MELROSEandFAIRFAX a lot of love, and we look forward to watching his career develop. We're convinced he's heading for big things, and we look forward to saying we knew him way back when we saw his live painting sessions~

Don't have plans for the weekend?

Well, head down to Melrose to do some xmas shopping, and make sure to swing by and catch a live painting battle featuring Gregory Siff squaring off against Louis Cannizzaro.

At the event, two giant doors will be suspended from the ceiling and the artists will engage in a paint-off.

This all goes down starting at 3 pm @ the New Portfolio Gallery, located at 7655 Melrose Ave.

We will be there (with Shasta and/or Qtip). Stop by and say hello~
