JR in Los Angeles - 20 Pieces in 20 Days


We knew that international street artist JR was in town, but we had no idea of the scope of his plans.

The goal is 20 pieces in 20 days. LAWeekly has been granted exclusive access to follow JR to these secret spots, and they reached out to MELROSEandFAIRFAX to help share with the street art community.

It is so exciting, and like the Banksy scavenger hunt all over again! Click the jump for more


JR has been getting some serious recognition from outside the art world, and was recently named the winner of the TED award. The TED award is given to leaders in technology, entertainment and design, and past recipients have included big names like Bill Clinton. It is a tremendous honor, and the selection of a street artist is unprecedented.

LA is honored in return to have JR putting up art on the streets. Each day at 2pm LAWeekly will reveal a new location, and we will share the art soon after.

This is the second piece to go up in LA, and it is absolutely beautiful.


*** Big thanks to Shannon Cottrell for the story and Shelley Leopold for the pics!***


Nomade Goes Big in Downtown Los Angeles


Street art collective Nomade goes big with a massive installation in downtown Los Angeles.

We heard through the rumor mill that Nomade is making some celebrity contacts of their own and recently took Ashton Kutcher out on a mission.

Really dig the aesthetic from Nomade, and how all the art is organic, from taking the photos that are used, to the computer work, to putting up the street art.

This is arguably one of favorite street art pieces in LA.

Stay up~
