Followers of the blog know who Zombie is. He has been steady smashing the city for the past year. And everyone knows who MBW is. The old school street art met the new school street art when Zombie got the chance to hang out with Mr. Brainwash--and Andre.
Zombie said he ran into Mr. Brainwash at his wall, and when Zombie asked him about the new Space Invader, MBW said "Oh yes, he is my friend," and said that Invader and Andre were in town until Sunday.
He then suggested that if they wanted to see Andre in action, they should head down to his old Miles Davis wall on Melrose, where Andre was doing a new piece. So Zombie headed over to the spot and caught Andre as he was working on his 2nd massive 'Annabelle' graffiti piece on Melrose.
Zombie said that both MBW and Andre are nice, rad guys. And Mr. Brainwash hooked Zombie up with about 10 posters, and signed many of them to him personally. Zombie traded MBW some prints in return. When they met up with Andre, he painted one of his characters on the back of one of the posters, and hooked them up with a few empty's and even a few full paint cans.
Very cool thing. What a great story and awesome hook up, where old school meets new, and new is blown away by the kindness~
those look like left over posters from the Icons show in NYC. Tacky, MBW!!!!
