Not sure what this is about. Armo sometimes goes over stuff, but it always seems to be more about the spot, and not anything personal. But apparently, Cryptik is trying to send a message with this sticker.

Sniffin Glue Art Show

The 'Sniffin Glue Art Show' opens this weekend.

Boasting the works of Abcnt, Cryptik, Nomade, and Eddie Colla, it should be a good one.

Check out the flyer for more info, and keep Sniffin Glue!

Doodle-ly Doo

A head that is drawn out of little doodles. Very interesting stuff (note: the close up picture turned out blurry).

Think this is by Panache.

Up with Cryptik, Keeper and AJL.

Cryptikally Inside Out

We have never met Cryptik, and we got really excited when we saw this car sitting out front JR's exhibit adorned with Crytik's stickers. Check out the reflection of JR's pieces in the window, and click the jump for more

Even though it was covered in Cryptik stickers (and one from 455er), it was not Cryptik's vehicle.

The nice lady who was driving it said that she had worked with the Phantom Gallery and Cryptik. She said Cryptik is a super cool guy who gave a lot of free stickers for the kids to enjoy.

We love these shots with JR's pieces reflecting back into the shot.

Hipsters Beware - Corporations Will Steal Your Art

Cali Killa hit the streets of Los Angeles in the summer of 2010 with his 'Hipsters Beware' campaign. Well, it seems that Urban Outfitters liked the concept so much that they straight ripped the design and started selling t-shirts . . .

A friend of the artist says that Cali Killa has not given permission for his artwork to be used, and has not been compensated in any way.

Its a real risk for street artists who put powerful images on the streets that these images will be taken and used without giving credit to the artist themselves. The most notable local example was Green Day's featuring Euthanasia's artwork in one of its videos. The case is currently under litigation, and has been for years.

Cali Killa is pursuing his options for retribution, and MELROSEandFAIRFAX will continue to keep up to date on how it plays out.
