Hanging Out With 'X'

Rooftop action on the far side of the street with Thank You Andy Warhol- being viewed by X, the artist himself.

We spent an awesome afternoon yesterday hanging out with burgeoning street artist 'X'. . .

X has quickly launched his art to the top of the LA scene, both literally and figuratively. He has more pieces riding on rooftops as many artists do on the boxes down below. These big ups, and the fact that his inaugural piece features an icon that art lovers immediately identify with, have thrust X onto the face of LA in a big way.

Hanging out with X was a real pleasure. Even though he has not been doing street art for a long time, he already has many amazing stories. We sat enthralled listening to stories of the biggest names in street art and tales of hair-raising experiences on the streets.

X has a passion for street art, a desire to learn. With street prowess and the right connections, it sounds like he has all the right pieces in place. X is already up in New York and Atlanta in addition to Los Angeles. And even if X has got as 'high' as it gets in LA, this career is just going to just keep getting bigger.
