No Bonus Points


^This one we liked at first . . .


^what's the best way to make sure your stuff doesn't last on the streets? -go out of your way to needlessly mess with graffiti writers


^run outta black paint here?



^dig this. This is what its about. adds to the flavor of the street.


^And this going over Mar is ridiculous and unnecessary.

These stencils by an unknown artist showed up one morning on Melrose.

When we saw the first one, the blue one, we were impressed. We liked the color, the going big, and even the face.

But as we continued on our walk and saw more, we became less and less impressed with the stencils (due to the placement). By the end, the face seemed to be straight leering at us.

We've said it before- there are no bonus points for going over.

Instead of participating in street art, this artist seems to resent other artists, ANY other artists from doing it.

Fortunately, the streets have a way of working themselves out, and when you go over shit, your shit will be quickly gone over.

Don't hate the player, or the game. Just play, don't hate~

Berg Propaganda - Salt Lake City Street Art Comes to Los Angeles

Life is funny, full of twists and turns.

MELROSEandFAIRFAX arrived back in Los Angeles yesterday after taking a vacation in Salt Lake City. When we hit the streets today to take some pics, we thought we were still back in Utah. Literally, the first piece of art we saw on Melrose is from Salt Lake street artist Berg.

Berg is almost single-handily holding it down for wheat pastes in Salt Lake. His art was at all the hot art spots, as well as up on prime spots on the street.

It was not surprising to see wheat pastes in Salt Lake, but it was surprising to see an artist at this level. Berg's work is cutting edge, and the top notch stencils would stand out in the biggest art cities- just as it jumped out in LA.

MELROSEandFAIRFAX was curious to find out more about Berg Propaganda, and we located a great interview with the artist where he discusses his incredibly entitled beginning to street art (meeting KAWS himself!) and discusses "the notion that art can be weaponized in an attempt to alter public opinion". You can peep the interview

Stay up~
