More Van Gogh Street Art


A day after Snyder's impressive 'Happy Birthday Vincent Van Gogh' statue takeover, we came up on some more Van Gogh street art way over in the valley. Click the jump for more

We believe these are prints of Van Gogh's work, and found them taped to a dumpster of Tujanga way over in the Valley.

These don't seem to be street art as much as they are a free art offering for people to find and take home. This is a very cool thing to do, and if your home says something about a person's personality, a blank wall is boring. What a great way to encourage people to beautify their homes with this free art giveaway.

Happy Birthday Vincent Van Gogh - Public Interruption


Today, March 30th, is Vincent Van Gogh's birthday. And to celebrate this day, street artist Snyder orchestrated a public interruption with a statue next to the beach. This was extremely well done. Click the jump for more

The overhaul of the statue was comprehensive and multi-faceted. The 'improvements' include a severed ear, Absinthe bottle, sunflowers and card are at the base. In addition, the statue is decked out in full costume. It even had an easel was welded on! And on that easel there is a painting of the view from the sculpture in a post impressionism style.

In addition, 6 paper mache crows are scatted around the sculpture and in the intersection.

We have seen some amazing pieces from Snyder recently. Each has meaning on many different levels, and this piece is absolutely brilliant.

From Andy Warhol to Van Gogh


A couple of wheat pastes. Andy Warhol from artist 'X' and Uncle Sam from Zombie.

This is set across the street from The Hundreds store in Los Angeles, and have been adorned with some Hundreds stickers.

And the cool thing is these stickers from The Hundreds are done in the theme of Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Fine Art meets Street Art.

With all of this staged in front of one of our favorite graffiti walls of all time (consisting of work from Retna, Revok, Rime, Saber, Norm, Os Gemeos). Well, its arguable whether this street art is not indeed fine art?
