We have heard from a few people that an unverified street artist was arrested while putting up art at De La Barracuda last Friday night.
He was reportedly frisked, hand cuffed, and arrested for putting up street art.
This is apparently the brush of the artist that was left leaning on the electrical box out front. We snapped a pic of it the next morning, but didn't realize the context until last night.
Sucks to hear that an artist got nabbed. And, it might be petty and trivial, but we do think its funny that the cops left the pasting brush behind. By leaving it behind, it suggests that the brush isn't criminal to have on the streets. Or, they were simply littering. The irony is rich how street artists are attempting to make the streets look better, and the cops are the ones littering and junking up the streets with the very arrests they are making.
One person has said it was Decoco that got arrested, but don't know that for certain yet. We know Decoco follows the blog--did they get you?
thats what happens when you go out at 10 pm on a friday in hollywood.
ReplyDeleteEspecially in that area. If I post around there, I am not out until much later. Too many crazy drunk chicks running about in skimpy outfits... Well...maybe I SHOULD go out a little earlier.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but Cali Killa is right. That's probably the worst time of the week to go out putting up art. Tuesday, 3 am is where its at.
ReplyDeleteHope it all works out for you Decoco.
The time of night has little to do with this arrest
ReplyDeleteyup it was decoco. confirmed. He was arrested but the police were nice enough to let him go with a warning.
ReplyDeleteyah its true i got arrested and im surprised that all these folks know the details, im flattered to tell yuh the truth but yah. it was me and guanas monthly celebration kind of deal so i had to do the run at last minute for obvious reasons but in my eyes it was worth it. the cops werent even that bad to tell you the truth, pretty nice bunch of guys if you ask me even got some pictures with them haha.
