The United Snakes of Imperialist Empire

A dope mural between the UK's Ben Slow and USA's Mear One.  This is entitled 'The United Snakes of Imperialist Empire' and features what looks like a dollar bill, with a double portrait in the middle of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.  It looks like Mear painted Ronald while Slow did Thatcher.

Located at a hot spot at the intersection of Silverlake Junction.

Ben Slow Romances Los Angeles

Dig the gorgeous lady, and the way the drips interact with the piece.

Ben Slow in Los Angeles

British street artist Ben Slow is visiting the City of Angels and is already hitting Hollywood hard.

M&F showed up just as Ben was getting started on this wall on Hollywood Blvd so we don't have pics of the finished piece yet.  Here are some action shots of Ben beginning to apply white the background, which he said he loved the way the thick white drips came down the wall.

Ben will be in town for another couple days, accompanied by his beautiful assistant Sabira.  It is awesome to have big names like Ben Slow coming to LA, and Ben says he has plans for another politically loaded mural while in town.  Look forward to Ben's art in Los Angeles.
