New Video and Website for 'X'



Rumors have been swirling that it was 'X' who showed Banksy's crew around town, and up top of the 'Livin the Dream' billboard. We still can't verify that, but what we do know for sure is that 1.) X does hang out with Demi Moore, Susan Surandon, Blake Lively, Cobra Starship and a grip more celebrities, 2.) he has hit seemingly every other rooftop and billboard in LA, and 3.) he just launched his website, 'Thank You, 'X'', which comes with the release of dope new video as well.

We enjoy most street art videos but we have a special appreciation for the ones that are well done, and this Adolfo J Lara is one of the best we have seen. It is more like a 3 minute film than a video, masterfully edited and cut, and in that short amount of time it captures the action and thrill of the streets, as well as the essence of 'X' as a person as he talks about cops, art and his 'thank you' to Andy Warhol.

It has been a thrill to watch X's street career skyrocket as high as the rooftops he climbs. Click the links to find out more about X, and join us in following his career as it shoots even higher~

More New Banksy Street Art in LA - Charlie Brown (pt 1/2)


Banksy is up to more mischief in Los Angeles.

Click the jump below for more exclusive Banksy footage from MELROSEandFAIRFAX

Banksy brings out a Charlie Brown stencil holding a can of gas, about to pour.

We are not sure exactly what this piece is about, but we thought a shot staged with Qtip, the top Street Art Cat, really brings it to life.

***Ah, yes. An alert reader pointed out in the comments that this building has been burned, and there are clear singe marks coming out from under the boards on the front of the building. Thus, Charlie playing with fire. Thanks for the heads up***






***Big thanks to 'X' for the tip on the location of this new piece. He could help show Banksy around the rooftops of Los Angeles. Who knows, maybe he already is . . . ***

***This is located on Sunset Blvd in on the Sunset Strip, across the street from Pink Dot***

Rooftop spots are always hard to get a pic of, but this place was especially tricky.

Alec is stacking up the Monopoly Man stencils up there.


Top That Spot Jack


Folks are talking about maybe Destroy All Design spot jacking Obey on the other side of this building, and someone asked if Alec is doing a spot jack by hitting the other side.

We are curious what people think is a spot jack?
