  4. This wall is in remembrance of musician Elliott Smith; it served as the cover to his album 'Figure 8' (released in 2000) and has been layered with kind words from fans since Elliott's death in 2003. The wall has been defaced and repainted a few times now. This new piece is a LOVELY stencil of Elliott's likeness, as he appeared on the Figure 8 cover (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Figure_8_%28album%29).

    Major respect to whoever did this piece...thank you for helping keep the memorial alive.

  8. That's a portrait of Elliott Smith on a wall that was used as the background for the cover of his album Figure 8. This stencil is an attempt to recreate that album cover. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_8_%28album%29

  9. It looks like a stencil of Elliott Smith... which would make sense because that's his memorial wall on Sunset. :)

  10. This is actually the Elliot Smith memorial. They repainted it because so many people had written messages on the wall.
