The Giant Spiders in Los Angeles Are Ads, Not Art





A lot of people have been asking about the giant red spider stencils that have been showing up around Los Angeles lately. It is not a new art piece. The spiders are a guerilla street advertising campaign for the upcoming Spiderman movie, and the street spider is the logo.

  1. ugh. they infiltrated LA too!? it's such hypocrisy that "corporate sponsored street art" is ok, and then "legitimate street art" is not.

  4. 2 wrongs doesn't make 1 right. Our (street artist) argument, can NOT be Orwellian in nature!

    Is this illegal? Fuck yeah it is. Doesn't mean what you do is now legal, or less illegal.

    I thought we were against the status quo.

    Peace. Get up. Stay up.

    Signed X——— anon (b/c we aren't anymore "legal" than they are, and I refuse to use the enemies argument to justify and suck the life out of our calling).
