JR Hits Hollywood
JR goes big in West Hollywood with a giant mural on 3rd street and La Cienega.
Since JR had a recent campaign entitled 'Wrinkles of the City', we thought it would be cool to show the wrinkles in a JR piece. The last photo is to try and capture the wrinkles in the paste.
Love all the JR pieces in LA~

WHAT GRAFFITI IS TO NEW YORK - STREET ART IS TO LOS ANGELES
Los Angeles has set itself apart as the worldwide mecca for street art. LA has the busiest streets, the biggest name artists, and the most local talent. It is widely recognized as the hottest spot for street art in the world.
MELROSEandFAIRFAX has been curating the streets of Los Angeles for over a year, and now we are super excited to be curating our first gallery show.
The show is being held at the prestigious Maximillian Gallery at Sunset Marquis. It is entitled 'What Graffiti is to New York - Street Art is to Los Angeles' and it features a dream team line up of the very best street artists and biggest stories in Los Angeles.
It is going to be epic. This is the show that will define the genre and solidify LA's place in the street art scene to the rest of the world.
Street art in LA is blowing up. From Banksy's latest visit, to the MOCA exhibition, and on every street corner and rooftop in between, the force of this movement is undeniable.
In a similar manner to the way that New York is widely recognized as the home of graffiti, Los Angeles is currently experiencing the same definitive movement in the world of street art. And this art show 'What Graffiti is to New York - Street Art is to Los Angeles' is going to claim the scene. Its going to be epic. This show has the biggest name street artists and brightest stories in the game, and it is being held at arguably the most upscale gallery to ever host a pure street art show (that is, with real street artists who are out on the streets and not artists who dabble with murals on walls). And in 10 years this will be the show, and the artists, that the history books (and blogs) will refer to as making the jump from street to gallery, and defining the street art genre.
Not only does the show have the top street artists getting up on the streets, it also has some of the most fascinating stories. The show features everything from a 9-year old street artist, to a porn star star street artist. And covering everything from an artist who had a flattering interview with Forbes, to a street artist featured on NBC National News for being arrested. This show not only has the biggest ups, but the juiciest side stories and is sure to be interesting on so many levels.
We are also extremely fortunate to have gallery owner, Caradoc, supporting the street art movement. He comes from an amazing art family, his mother is an artist whose work is in The Smithsonian and his grandmother's art gallery archives are housed in the Smithsonian. In his own right, Caradoc has done extremely well with marketing in the business world. His connections and prowess are sure to take the street movement to the next level. The location of the Maximillian Gallery in the lobby of the Sunset Marquis hotel couldn't be better.
We have said many times that street artists are the rock stars of the art world, and the Sunset Marquis plays host to the rock stars of the real world, and this show will have unprecedented exposure to celebrities and affluent art connoisseurs. It is a great opportunity and really amazing to be teamed up with Caradoc and The Maximillian Gallery.
The show is going to feature original artworks from each of the artists, original photos from MELROSEandFAIRFAX, exclusive sticker packs, and, super limited Maximillian Gallery at Sunset Marquis embossed prints.
We have an amazing line-up making up a dream team of Los Angeles street art. With so many artists, and all the activity on the streets it was hard to make the cut, but there is no doubt that this selection is cream of the crop. We got everyone we wanted, and as the blog has shot up to being the #2 street art blog in the world, these are our hand-picked top artists on the scene.

Hollywood Gets Invaded
New piece from Space Invader on Hollywood Blvd.
Space Invader gets up big in Hollywood. Right on the Boulevard, above the Walk of Fame.
Big thanks to Ziggy for sending the picture in. Ziggy has had a big week in street art as she was the one who scored the Dface 'Cheating Death' Tombstone.

Dface R.I.P.
After the Dface Tombstone next to Charlie Sheen's Star on Hollywood Blvd found a new home, we still went by to try and see what the piece had looked like.
The tombstone was long gone, and the only thing left was this big pile of rubble.
R.I.P.
Cheating and Winning!
Dface's 'Cheat Death' has found a new home.
There wasn't any cheating involved other than the headstone.
And after the Dface Tombstone on Hollywood Blvd next to Charlie Sheen's star on the Walk of Stars fell over, we got an email from Ziggy asking if maybe he should take it?
Since it had already been knocked over and the Hollywood Clean Team rolls through the area every morning to clean everything, it was unlikely that it would last past morning, and we told Ziggy that it would be an awesome thing to have and go for it!
So Ziggy scored the tombstone--all 400-500 pounds of it. Literally. You can see how massive the piece is next to the doorway in the picture, and as it is straight cement, it is quite heavy.
Congrats to Ziggy on getting an original piece of Dface street art. Winning!
Action Shots of Dface 'Cheating Death' Installation
Some great shots of Dface putting in his 'Cheating Death' installation piece on Hollywood Blvd.

Dfaced On Hollywood Walk of Stars
The gravestone installation piece by Dface above Charlie Sheen on Hollywood Blvd's Walk of Stars has been knocked over.
It doesn't appear to be taken, but just knocked over. Not dead yet, but dying.
Still curious as to how this piece was done. A metal clasp can be seen in the picture, but reportedly there is no mark on the sidewalk from where it was attached.
***Big thanks to Ziggy for the pic and the update on the status.***
Dface Cheats Death
Dface puts up a brilliant installation on the Hollywood Blvd Walk of Stars.
Dface placed a gravestone that says 'Cheat Death' above Charlie Sheen's star.
Very well done.
***Thanks to Tam for the tip, and thanks to @GoodTimesMedia for the picture off Twitter***
Mr. Men Street Art (Mr. Happy!)
Mr. Men was one of the best book series of our childhood. Cool, and nostalgic to see some Mr. Men street art pop up in Los Angeles.
Cool Mr. Men themed pieces with Mr. Happy (I'm still rich) joined by his friends.
Up with Obey and a capped Mr. Moustache.
In Hollywood.

Making Movies at Runyon Canyon
Before the rain, we headed up Runyon Canyon earlier this week and saw some movies being filmed and movie stars~
Came up on this set while they were filming the two dudes sitting on the bench. (it probably killed the shot that we stopped and started taking photos! oops).
Later we saw Dane Cook at Runyon. He was not part of the film, but just out hiking the Canyon on his own. The dude is pretty ripped!
Another slice of LA~
Almost Famous
Street art from Bankrupt Slut, CC (we think its Common Cents), Morley, and the remainder of Armo.
Up with a tag saying 'Almost Famous'.
On Sunset. In Hollywood.
