A couple of hand drawn stickers from Gamel.
Someone let us know in an earlier post that it is Gamel, like Camel, but not Camel is the artist's name. So its Gamel from FYF.
Found these slaps over at Venice Beach.

Venice Beach Freakshow (pt. 4/4) The Sword Swallower
This is the first time we have seen this in person. And we always thought that sword swallowing was some sort of gimmick and there was a trick involved. But after watching the performance at the Venice Beach Freakshow, this is the real deal!
We can vouch that it is being done. Still no idea how its being done.
Impressive stuff.
And he gobbled the entire 5 foot balloon and popped it in his stomach. Wild stuff.
And the girl's tricks were hard to get pictures of, but they were very interesting to watch. She is the 'Electric Girl' and would perform tricks with electricity.
Once again, a very cool show and well worth the $5 it costs to get in. Check it out~
Venice Beach Freakshow (pt. 3/4) -The 'LIVE' 2-Headed Animals!
The Venice Beach Freakshow has an impressive collection of LIVE 2 headed animals. Click the jump for more
The owner told us that with the two headed animals, each head has its own personality. That is so fascinating!
He said they usually get along, but he had one two-headed turtle where each head hated the other, and they eventually killed each other (and in doing so themselves!).
The picture of the two headed yellow snake is the only one of this type in the world.
We missed snapping pics of the 5-Legged mini pincher, but if you are at Venice, make sure to stop by. The freakshow is well worth seeing!
Venice Beach Freakshow (pt. 2/4)
^Okay. This guy is like the unofficial mascot for Venice Beach. And even though he isn't technically part of the Venice Beach Freakshow, the dude brings his own freakshow~
He's not part of the act, but the rest of the pics are
^This is the skeleton of conjoined twins. There is a x-ray of them hanging in the background. It sounds morbid now, but didn't feel so at the time. The vibe is not dark in this place, but more like a circus or old school travelling act.
^two headed raccoon with god knows what up top!
The Art Wall At Venice Beach
This wall in front of an abandoned building at Venice Beach serves as a constant, ever changing canvas for street art. This time there is is a new huge portrait of a girl, and some 3d street art
A huge piece that was in the middle of this wall got ripped down, and only the half torn face remains from that. But the mural of the girls face shown below is brand new.
And interesting piece of 3d street art from Vinny V 3d .com.
Venice Beach Freakshow (pt. 1/4)
The Venice Beach Freakshow is crammed full of 'freaky' things. Its got all kinds of two-headed animals, ones with extra limbs, and even two bodies sharing one head. Click the jump for more craziness
At $5 entry fee, this is a must-see at Venice Beach.
Not necessarily street art, but a real slice of LA~
^The two headed calf, 4 legged duckling, and 2 headed turtle
^The two headed cow and six legged squirrel
^A twelve legged spider, along with two cuties in the reflection
Overview-forget what the skeleton is
^More six legged squirrel and 3 horned sheep
^3 Horned sheep and 2-body 1-headed duckling
Freaky~
Old Man And The Building
Or on the building, rather.
Interesting character way up top at this busy intersection of Pacific and Zephyr in Venice Beach.
Not sure who the artist is, but the style looks very similar to Changetime MC.
Big Names At Venice Beach
Some of the biggest names in the world hit up this building in Venice Beach. Click the jump for more
This building has pieces from Retna, Push, Space Invader and more.
The Retna piece to the right is unique because it has his trademark lettering, but it also appears that he did the mural in the middle, which doesn't happen often.
Wish we could have snapped better pics, but in a hurry at the time. Located on Brooks, just south of Rose on Pacific in Venice.
Herbert the Hippo Hanging in Venice
Finding parking can be a bitch in Venice, and we drove around for 20 minutes straight without seeing a single open space.
Then, someone finally pulled out in front of us, and we managed to find a parking spot--and it was right at this sign where Herbert was hanging out (think he must've helped~).
Stay up~
Spooky Spider Street Art
Some cool spiders in Venice Beach, all heading towards home.
This is cool and kind of spooky. It is kind of reminiscent of the spiders in the woods during Harry Potter.
Also cool how the artist, AWK, spins the letters into a web-like look.
Big thanks to B. Land for sending in these pics.
Venice Beach Stencil Girl
A stencil girl placed right above Tiptoe's pile of skulls.
She was all around Venice Beach.

Street Art Stolen - In the Wake of Banksy
It is not unheard of for street art to get taken down. It is unusual that it is happening this much.
After all the buzz with Banksy coming to town for the Academy Awards, the interest in street art has grown, and so has the desire to take a piece home. It seems like anything with a stencil on it is fair game, and two of LA's signature pieces, including the Leba shot pictured above, got swiped over the past few days. Click the jump for more
Both Leba's Anne Frank themed 'Free Gaza' stencil from Venice Beach, and Dog Byte's Singin' in the Rain disappeared over the weekend. In all fairness, it did look like the Dog Byte piece was coming off the wall. And you can see in second pic where the Leba piece has gone missing.
We hope these found good homes~
Big thanks to Grant Sims for sending us the Leba pics from Venice.
New JR Street Art in Venice Beach
Banksy isn't the only international street artist putting up new street art in Los Angeles this week.
JR is also getting up, and TheDirtFloor released some pics of a beautiful new face put on a building front in Venice Beach.

Love this aesthetic. Touching and powerful.
Graffiti & Palm Trees
A beautiful end to a beautiful Valentine's Day.
Hope everyone out there has more than a tree to cuddle up with, and if a tree is all you got, hope its got graffiti on it.
At Venice Beach.

Don't know if this is another take on the BNB graffiti crew.
