What Rain? - JR Still Gets Up

The fact that it rained in LA didn't stop JR from thrusting forward with his art.

JR spent the day pasting another building, even though it was wet.

This is unusual because the rain usually gets in the way of wheat pasting. We are curious as to what methods he employed to keep pastes this big up on a wall like this when it is raining? Click the jump for more action shots of the mural in progress

Really love JR's aesthetic. It will be interesting to watch these wall as they age.

Big thanks to Brett Boston for the pictures!

Qtip Breaks Free! (Cat in the Rain!!--with a Hippo!?)

^We got an email from a reader telling us to check out the De La Barracuda parking lot, because Herbert the Hippo had left a little message for Qtip.

We waited for a lull in the rain, and then headed out to check it out. Qtip is snug as a bug in a rug tucked inside the jacket to begin with.


^We found Herbert the Hippo enjoying the rain


^and then we spotted the dope message from Herbert to Qtip.

Qtip loved the sentiment! Happy New Year, Herbert!!"


^It had started to rain, but we pulled Qtip out of the jacket for a quick pic-


^She didn't like the rain, and started to squirm


She squirmed out of our hands, and out of the harness. Holy shit!! Cat on the loose!


^Qtip hit the ground running!


^Then she hit the alley, and tried to decide which way to go. . . .


. . . then straight bolted!


^But this cat has been raised well, so instead of running into the street, she hit the sidewalk and headed up the block.


At this point, it looked like Qtip was pretty safe (and wet! lol), so we let her keep strolling off leash. She walked for 3 blocks off leash. We shot a quick 30 second video of Qtip walking off leash in the rain. Check it out~

And Qtip says thanks to Herbert the Hippo! That message was awesome!!!
