I Love New York

'I Love New York' bus stop takeovers in Los Angeles.

These I Love New York bus stop takeovers are from new street artist 'Secret Agent Mike'.

He says he was "originally from NYC & Melrose offers me the gritty feel of the city I remember".

We dig what he's doing, and these bus stop takeovers are everywhere from Melrose, to Venice, to Westminster, so keep an eye out for a New York bus bench takeover near you. He says they usually last a few weeks before being taken down.

Hooked Up - Dint Wooer Krsna

We got hooked up with a fat pack from New York based street artist Dint Wooer Krsna. Click the jump for more

This was a big deal so even Shasta had to join Qtip at the door for this one (that's her yellow bandana in the pic below).

Dint Wooer Krsna is one of the biggest names in New York street art. It is hard to find a photo of the street scene in New York that doesn't have a piece from Dint Wooer in it. You can see more stuff on his Flickr.

Krsna recently made a West Coast run out to LA. We have covered his stuff on the blog, and he sent us this fat pack of stuff including a t-shirt and a bunch of different stickers and designs.

We think its awesome seeing Krsna's stuff on the streets, and we love the hookup!

Thanks Krsna!

Good Luck - Massive Hand Painted Dint Wooer

A massive, beautiful hand painted piece from New York based artist Dint Wooer went up downtown at the traction wall.

This piece is entitled Good Luck and is a wild and colorful beast.

Really cool to get the New York street art flavor spicing up LA's scene.

Dint Wooer Hits Los Angeles

New York based street artist Dint Wooer made a big run through Los Angeles. Dint Wooer, or Krsna as he is sometimes called, is one of NY's most prolific artists, and, quite literally, it is rare to see a shot of any spot in New York without a piece from Krsna in it. Click the jump for more

We dig the quirky characters and have mad respect for the way this dude gets up in New York.

It is great to see some of Dint Wooer's art on the streets of LA.

Olek Does a Banksy Tribute

New York based Olek stiched a rooftop tribute to Banksy's Balloon Girl. Click the jump for more

The BoweryBoogie received an email from Olek saying that she did this piece as a nod to Banksy. Here are her words

After crocheting the first readymade, I decided to pay homage to Marcel Duchamp and so I crocheted the bike wheel on the stool. Recently, I was referred to as a street artist by the press and public. I wanted to pay my respect to one of the most iconic figures of the street art movement. I am placing a series of The girl with the balloons image coinciding with the Oscars as support for Banksy’s movie. What is authentic? Did he intend to do a mockery of the art world by being a Mr. BW?


Very cool how this street artist would compliment another street artist instead of capping it.

On a side note, our friend G has been stiched up by Olek himself. Check it out!

Hanging Out with Neckface

^the guy in this pic looks like he wants to fight!

MELROSEandFAIRFAX had a chance encounter with Neckface today when we bumped into him on the streets.

As we have said before, meeting Neckface a few years ago while he was working on his mural at De La Barracuda is what convinced us to move to this area, and that led to the start of this blog.

Neckface told us that he is in LA to escape the NY winter for a bit, and we love having him here. We still have mad respect for this guy. We don't really have heroes anymore, but if we did, its Neckface.

Keep creepin'~
