Corner of Melrose and Fairfax - Art Central


Melrose and Fairfax is always slammin with art, and this picture captures the different facets of the street art that make this area so special.

Up front is a electrical box that is absolutely slammed with wheat pastes. The image looks like two dudes wearing sunglasses smoking weed together. The picture has been put through different filters with colors and their negatives. The way its layered really comes together well. Unknown artist(s).

Above the box and to the right is a walk box absolutely plastered with stickers in a huge combo. Stickers from Bankrupt Slut, SmogCity, MQ, Atick, Sonek, Erie, Tripp, Rotting Fresh, LA Has a Pink Taco, and, of course, MELROSEandFAIRFAX.

And behind the box in the street is a white truck that has been bombed by Etch and Tenk(?).

This shot captures a slice of the ever changing canvas that is Melrose and Fairfax. It has wheat pastes, stickers, and graffiti. And it comes together in a way that doesn't hate, but celebrates the artistic merits of each.

Fuck yeah.

Hollywood (and Melrose and Fairfax!) Forever~
