Today!! Urban Artists on a Drive

The nice boy, Seizer just sent me this image of his pasted project on the billboard over the gallery building.


And I just got off the phone with the Boston Globe. They are doing a big profile on our new gallery artist, PIXNIT - whose "Spores" are gracing the streets of Boston as we speak, pollinating the crevices of the ancient American city. (if you can call 1700's ancient)

I'll be sure to notify you when that comes in - some time next week.
PIXNIT SPORE


There is a huge stir in Boston with the graffiti and urban street art movement. It is a very very conservative town...here we take all of that for granted and it becomes an integral part of our (literal) artistic landscape. Almost to the point that if it was not there, it would not be Los Angeles. Both the gang graffiti and the art graffiti.
Plus, our police force is way too busy fighting real crime to care about late night "beautification" projects. At least the art kind - we do have a good white-wash program for tagging, at least in Silver Lake. Well, gotta keep Normandie down. They are 2 blocks away from me...and my wall is a big tag canvas all the time.
(That's why it is so Reasonable, dare I say Rational that houses are selling for $650,000 on my block - but anyway, I digress)

Enjoy your drive when you see some art.

No, and not everything is art and not all graffiti is art and not all street art is graffiti.
