Army of One



Army of One is one of the biggest names in the street art world.

Their art can be found on streets from New York to Los Angeles and the world in between (seriously--up in Cuba!!).

Army of One uses the Grenade Boy image from Diane Arbus as a catalyst to bring attention to the fight to end all wars. Powerfully invoked on the streets and usually tagged with dripping red ink, Grenade Boy engages the viewer and demands attention, resulting in a very successful public campaign.

Army of One just rolled through Melrose and Fairfax. This Grenade Boy is pictured on a beautifully decaying piece from Abscnt and Cryptik. We are thrilled to have the beautiful and powerful art back on the streets of Los Angeles~

(more to come~)

  3. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CHILD??
    THE ARMY OF ONE has crash landed on Los Angeles and will be bringing our peaceful Revolution through art and our creative process to the streets of Los Angeles this week ,starting today Veterans Day to bolster support for our brave women and men who are put into harms way by the insanity of THIS WAR!!!!!
    ...our factory is prepared for an assault on the senses every nite….. We search the streets for anything we can use for our art , our message, our destiny and our savior..........I am prepared to face authority and condemnation from the new world order,in order to save a child from the streets and ravages of poverty, disease and war, our images are a metaphor for pain and ignorance to a childs plight, the innocence lost, on political corruption, religious vagrants and corporate greed,Army of One may never end war , poverty nor disease thru our grass roots meanderings and art. But we will bring it to the forefront of American Disgrace…….this Cause i have dedicated my rebirth too…….We who run with the night...............We who are given the vision................
    We are responsible not to lay down with complacency and mediocrity................
    We are the new visionaries
    ........
    Our path is clear……Army of One/jc2
    join us............
