Srima Graffiti Zine
With the way that the once secret world of graffiti has become readily accessible through the openness of the internet, it can be difficult to connect back with the true organic roots of graffiti.
Zines are one of the last true throwback resources for authentic organic action. A local LA zine just busted out featuring many LA heavyweights including DEEJ x MOVIE x NEWT x AVERI x KLEEN YO CHAKRAS x LARY x BLIGY x CHISTE x TWIST.
The zine features a dope mix of flowers, graffiti action shots, and yoga. Dig it~
You can pick up your zine HERE and follow more from Srima HERE.

Dog Byte - Repeating Ideas
This piece is called 'Step and Repeat' by Dog Byte. There is a funny story surrounding this piece. The first time M&F saw Step and Repeat on the street, there was a money bag in the back hand of the child soldier, and when we told Dog Byte that we liked the bag element in the piece because it gave it context, Dog Byte explained that the money bag was not part of his piece, but something that someone else had added on.
Dog Byte then went on to lament how he felt like he was out of ideas, and couldn't come up with new material for stencils. M&F always remembered this conversations because we thought that Dog Byte's saying this was so unusual, because almost every artist that we know has waaaay too many ideas, and the hardest part for most is finding time to actually do them.
That conversation was over two years ago. Other than commissioned advertisements, this is the first time Dog Byte has got up in years, and he is still using the same material. Apparently, Dog Byte is still 'stepping and repeating' ideas.
Movie THR and the SYB Crew add some street quality control to Step and Repeat with bombs down below.

Keep It In Your Pants
When it comes to guns, just keep it tucked in your pants. Or better yet, don't keep one at all. Like the 311 song quotes, "guns are for pussy's".
Here is a wheat paste from Icy & Sot with a dude with two guns tucked into his pants.
Put up next to graffiti bombs by Movie KYC SYB THR and Avery SYB.

Without VFX Artists, There is No Hollywood
Another new piece from Plastic Jesus.
This one is meant to show solidarity with Teacher's recent gigantic custom ebox, and both pieces are designed to show support for the VFX Solidarity movement. The VFX people are the folks who make all the visual effects happen in movies.
This new piece from Plastic Jesus states that 'No VFS, No Hollywood'.
Capping over a sidewalk billboard adverstisement for the new GI Joe movie, which undoubtedly uses a grip of green screen action.
Dig it. Stay Up and Stay special with those effects~

Parker - The Movie
The reason that M&F got invited to the Playboy Mansion was for a premier screening of Parker - The Movie.
As part of the promo for the film starring Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez, the film sponsored an art contest called 'Art of the Heist'. This party was also to honor the finalists of the artists who participated in the contest.
Because the film has not yet been released, M&F was required to sign a non-disclosure agreement to not reveal any details about the film. But let us just say that if you dig action flicks, and we do, then you're gonna dig Parker.
More about Parker Below:

Livin in LA - Vacation at the Playboy Mansion!
Another segment in M&F's ongoing series 'Living in LA - Vacation in LA'.
Last night, M&F accomplished a life long dream and visited the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills.
It is nearly every man's dream to visit this hollowed ground, and in every way, the Playboy Mansion lived up to or exceeded expectations.
The Playboy Mansion has a feel of a sorority house mixed with a luxury hotel. The inside is richly ornamented and decorated with wood carvings, while the outside property is a playground jungle of fun. From tip to toe, the Mansion itself is a bachelor's dream party house.
The night we visited, there were 3 gorgeous Playboy Bunny's roaming around the party. The girls looked exactly like the centerfolds in the magazine--perfect~. Each had a glowing face like the girl next door. The best line of the night came from Miss September 2012 (the dark haired beauty in the black dress) when M&F's editor-in-chief Greg asked her when the pillow fights will start. He was joking, but she was dead serious when she explained in answering him back that the pillow fights usually happen on Sundays. Can we come please get invited back on a Sunday? Or at least for a trampoline party?
Thank you to all the beautiful ladies at the Playboy Mansion. And major props to Mr. Hugh Hefner for setting the gold standard for men everywhere.
Everyone who lives in LA definitely needs to vacation at the Playboy Mansion at some point. Check out the pics below from the Playboy Mansion below:
^After entering the front gates, the first thing you will see is a sign that says 'Watch for Animals'. The 2nd sign is much more fun and it says 'Playmates at PLAY'.
^Animals are a big part of the atmosphere at the Playboy Mansion, and there are 3 African Cranes like this one wandering the property.
^Here is half of the graffiti tandem Dabs & Myla enjoying a drink next to the exotic birds.
^Reverse voyeurism. This picture is included because a gorgeous blond girl kept peering out the window at the action down below. Oh Playboy Mansion--so full of beautiful surprises!
^There was an air of mystery hovering around world famous Grotto.
If only these walls could talk--or actually, if these walls had video! Heh heh.
Pimp's Paradise!
^The pool outside looks like it was built for a music video. This little tunnel leads into the hot tubs of the grotto.
^The back view of the Playboy Mansion. Shot taken near the trampoline.
^The Playboy Mansion has a mini zoo out back. These squirrel monkeys were adorable!
^Back inside the mansion, there are more monkeys. Each one of these impressive 5 foot carvings is placed on either side of the stairs leading up to the living quarters.
Not sure what the round egg looking thing the monkey is holding actually is, but it seems to represent the idea that most men better leave their balls at the bottom of these stairs!
^Pic from the stairs looking down at the Playboy Party.
^Dabs Myla posing for pictures with Playboy Bunny's and more artists.
^Team M&F having some fun with the lovely ladies at the Playboy Mansion. (Please invite us back for the Sunday pillow fights!!)
^Wedding picture featuring Hef & Crystal. Congrats!
And Crystal's dog.
This dog was actually getting taken out to go to the bathroom in the front yard as we arrived at the party. Strangely enough, the dog was being carried out by a worker in their arms, not walked out. Guess the rich dogs don't have it all!
^All kinds of free munchy goodies at the party. Does candy taste better at the Playboy Mansion? Yes. The Milk Duds were fresher.
^Here is the in-house movie theatre at the Playboy Mansion.
^Yes, there were boobs at the Playboy Mansion, but only on the paintings hanging on the walls.
^More of the luxury at the Mansion. This corner had the feel of a real household where the pieces had been moved here to make room for the movie screen.
^A cardboard cut out of Hugh Hefner in the Library at the Mansion.
Straight pimpin'!
^As the movie theater starts filling in.
^The only other boobs spotted at the Playboy Mansion, but the entire evening was magical.
Thanks for the vacation in LA, Playboy Mansion.
Stay up!~
