You're Up There, We're Down Here (And It Still Looks Like Shit!)



We have been trying to sit back and not say anything at all, but 86 needs to get called out for putting shitty 'art' on the streets.

Maybe 86 only watched 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' and not 'Wild Style', so they never learned the rules of the streets. But if you're gonna cap someone, you've got to do it better.

The fact that 86 has been capping real art, street art that actually looks good and has some thought put into and good placement, like Leba and Obey, is flat out wrong.

And maybe no one has told you guys, but your stuff looks like shit. Real shit. Real bad. And the way you have been spreading this crap around the rooftops is embarrassing.

Go watch Wild Style and learn the rules of the game. If you can't do it better, don't cap it. And, just for you guys- if you can't do art better than what you are doing, don't do it at all~

Someone once said that it is better to keep your mouth closed and let others think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. The same could be said here. You have us convinced. And the rooftops of Melrose are suffering from it. Please, do us all a favor and get '86'd'.

Layers of Art


So many layers of art.

So may layers of art, starting with stickers on the pole in the foreground from Obey, Antes and Irok, a cool piece from Kid Zoom on the box, some painting in the doorway, and the tip of a huge mural by How and Nosm in the background.

Obey at MOCA



Shepard Fairey's exhibit at MOCA is super clean. No oversized murals, just framed pieces.

It felt very refined, and these pieces, perhaps more than any others, felt at home in this environment.

The Race To Claim The Box Out Front


There is a race to claim the electric box out front of MOCA.

Dissizit was clearly the latest to roll through with stickers and pastes going over Obey, K74 and ? artist.

Even though the capped the current art on the box, not sure what the history is. There is a corner of a piece on the side with the girl where it looks like one of the Dissizit's LA hands has been ripped down previously. This spot will probably change a lot over the next few months.

Its worth mentioning that we ove how the stickers still seem to purposefully leave the good parts on the girls~

And thre is also a hand written sticker from unknown artist that says 'Hi Shepard and Amanda Fairey.
