New flower from Random Act sprouts up next to a graffiti bomb from Erie.
Think the flower is a Calla Lily?

Random Act of Flowers - Live Painting with Andrea LaHue
We chanced upon street artist/fine artist Andrea LaHue as she was painting one of her beautiful flowers on La Brea. And it is interesting to look at the juxtaposition between the advertisement in the background compared to the flower. People often ask the difference between street art and advertising, and this shot really exemplifies it well.

Andrea told us that she was just getting back in town after a brutal winter in New York. Although she travels all over, and has hand painted flowers in over 100 cities, she said she considers LA her home, and is glad to be back.
We are thrilled to have her back. Her beautiful, hand painted flowers are one of the best things on the streets. And we look forward to more blooms popping up in the area.
Andrea's artist name is Random Act, and truly, it was a random act of coincidence coming up on her during this painting. (we actually wanted to turn the other direction, but when traffic wouldn't allow it, we turned this way and chanced upon Andrea--funny how life hands you these things!).
It was wonderful to meet Random Act in person. You can check out more of her on her website. Stay up, and stay pretty~
***Her travelling companions are her two dogs, Buckley and friend. And we did a little different write up more focused on the animals over on Qtips blog. Cute and fierce!***
Street Art Flowers
When we first began the blog, we used to post pictures of flowers in addition to the street art. We wanted to fully celebrate the beauty on the streets of Los Angeles, and felt that a finding a good piece of street art was as opportune as finding a flower in bloom.
Don't really do that so much anymore, but we some new street art just went up in downtown that is clearly inspired by the beauty of flowers, and matches these ones perfectly.

Love these new street art flowers in downtown Los Angeles. The inspiration from the plants is clear, and we think both are gorgeous~

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.

Cops Make Arrest for Flowers on Valentine's Day
Okay, okay. I think they were just bringing this display home in the trunk.
LA's downtown flower district was a madhouse today on Valentine's Day.
Random Act of Street Art Flowers
Artist Andrea LaHue, or Random Act hand painted a whole garden on these buildings.

And for those outside of California, the 'High Quality' sign for a Marijuana dispensary.
Not to say that all dispensary's are in this condition. This one closed down after the city council modified the code back in June, thus the dilapidated condition of the now-vacant building with broken windows.
Thank You X

^Thank you with a traffic officer giving a ticket.
More 'Thank You' Andy Warhol street art from artist 'X' has been going up all around Los Angeles.
It has literally been going UP on rooftops and high up spots.
The placement of these pieces by X has truly been impeccable.
Stay up~
Seed Bomb: Before and After
I've posted about the seed bombs from Flower Bomber previously. Here is what came from one of the seed bombs planted in a pot in the yard.
Hydrangeas In Bloom: Before and After
Our hyrdrangea plant is in bloom. Pink! Photos of the progress.
Flowers: Throw and Grow 'Em
Three cheers for a friend's blossoming venture: Flower Bomber. You can buy a package of 20 flower bombs--ping pong ball-sized balls of wildflower seeds and organic compost--on Etsy (we're both members of Team EcoEtsy). Then, fire away! The idea is to throw and grow them in vacant lots or other places that could use some pretty flowers; you can read the manifesto of the Green Guerrilla on the blog. So far, I've put one of the seed balls in a clay pot and am already seeing some sprouts (pictured). The rest will be distributed this weekend in less obvious spots.
Flower Up Close
I got close to the amaryllis in the neighbor's yard, channeling Georgia O'Keefe a bit.
