K74 and Qtip Are Back!
K74 is back on Melrose. A couple years ago, K74 was one of the only artists doing quality stencils around Los Angeles, including one of our all-time favorite pieces--Moses and the boombox up Laurel Canyon. Then there was a puzzling absence for a couple years. But K74 is not back and getting up again on Melrose.
And after Qtip went from being the 'crazy-cat-on-a-leash' and turned into an attack cat , we quit taking her outside and she had become a house cat. But the poor pussy was going crazy after being inside all this time. So she finally made it out again, and had a good trek down Melrose.

THIS Is Why You Don't Take Cats Out On Leash!
Got into a fight with Qtip, and the cat won~
Nearly every time when we meet someone while out with Qtip and they have a cat they say "My cat would never do this!" And after this incident, we can begin to see why.
So what happened is that Qtip got spooked and pulled out of her harness. It was in a neighborhood a half mile from the house, and she started to run towards a corner between a garage and a building--big enough for her, but waaaay too small for a person. I could tell she was all freaked out, and usually if you just wait it out she will calm down, but since she was headed for the hole I was worried she might get lost. So I grabbed her, and when I grabbed her she freaked out and attacked my arm. It made me drop her and when I picked her up again she went nuts, screaming and hissing and clawing and biting.
It was crazy. To finally get her, I had to take off my hoodie and throw it over her.
The thing is, she is fine around everything- dogs, loud noises, busy streets, but the only thing that gets her freaked out is other cats- or even the smell of other cats. Its nuts and we've tried things like asking friends to bring over things that smell like their cats, and even introduced her to some cats in the house (she was cautious but fine!). So if anyone has any tips on how to get a cat to work through this, we'd love to hear.
Until then, sad to say it, but Qtip is officially (mostly!) a house cat from here on out.

Qtip the Cat at Banksy
Qtip is also caught up in this Banksy craze, and so we took her to visit the Banksy pieces and do a photo shoot.
Banksy's English Bulldog is kind of like the Mona Lisa in that no matter where you stand, it always seems to be looking at you.
Click the jump for more exclusive pics and the only place to see a cool cat with Banksy~
Its not the greatest shot, per say, but it captures the dog's personality. We would bet money that the bulldog used for the stencil is Banksy's pet, or a friends.
We especially like the shot with the reflection in the water.
If you like Qtip and her crazy adventures on a leash (Vegas Baby!) be sure to check out her blog and her youtube page.
Qtip wrinkles up her nose and says, "This smells!" lol.
Good Grief, Banksy! Charlie Brown in Los Angeles (pt 2/2)
Good Grief!
More pics of Charlie Brown, the second new piece of street art from Banksy in Los Angeles.
This spot on the Sunset Strip is very similar to the one in Westwood, in that it is in an alleyway, but at an angle that can be seen from the street.
We hear there are more, so keep an eye out, Los Angeles!

Banksy is up to more mischief in Los Angeles.

Banksy brings out a Charlie Brown stencil holding a can of gas, about to pour.
We are not sure exactly what this piece is about, but we thought a shot staged with Qtip, the top Street Art Cat, really brings it to life.
***Ah, yes. An alert reader pointed out in the comments that this building has been burned, and there are clear singe marks coming out from under the boards on the front of the building. Thus, Charlie playing with fire. Thanks for the heads up***
***Big thanks to 'X' for the tip on the location of this new piece. He could help show Banksy around the rooftops of Los Angeles. Who knows, maybe he already is . . . ***
***This is located on Sunset Blvd in on the Sunset Strip, across the street from Pink Dot***
We Hate to Say We Told You So . . .
Here are some pics of Qtip in her new Spring dress walking in front of the street art filled wall on La Brea that has now been buffed.
And we hate to say 'we told you so', ( LOVE ME, BUT DON'T LOVE THIS ) but a few short days after the Love Me scrawl went up, the wall got completely buffed, bringing an end to a beautifully blossoming wall of street art.
We hope it resurrects, and if you want to see more of Qtip the-crazy-cat-on-a-leash and her clothes, click the links below to visit her Youtube Page and her blog.

Qtip the Cat-On-A-Leash on Google Earth
It is always fun to see the random stuff Google Earth will capture from their cameras.
You can see the all directional camera mounted on the roof of the car across the street. We hope their shot is more clear than ours, and hope the cameras caught Qtip, the crazy cat on a leash!
