CAUTION - Watch Your Soul

Even the trash bins become art LA's downtown Arts District.

This bin has been decorated with a sign saying 'CAUTION - Watch Your Soul'.

Indeed.  And stay up~

Orlando has More Attitude than Los Angeles

As we have said before, in terms of sheer volume, Orlando is nowhere near the level of street art and graffiti that is happening in Los Angeles.

However, even though Orlando might not be as busy, the street art that does get up in Orlando packs more attitude than what is seen around LA.  The O-town street art seems to come from a more pure place where the angry and disenfranchised just want to make a sticker to get their voice heard, not to get famous.  This street art, with images as trashing all religions or having 'no friends' are stronger than the ideas generally seen on the streets of LA.

Dig it Orlando.  Sometimes smaller is better.  Keep up the attitude.  And thank you for not littering your mind~

Greasy Pizza Box Love Letters

A love letter spotted on the back of a greasy pizza box, and framed by old cigarettes.

Wish this person the best--but if your lover is saying mean things then maybe its time to find a new lover.  One who loves you and doesn't say mean things (or make you write on greasy pizza boxes!).

Note--Do not think that this is from Nomatter Whatness, even though the letter uses a similar phrase.

***Thanks to Javier for sending in these pics, and Javier added that the box was found right near the intersection at Melrose and Fairfax.***

Making a Mess

We love street art and often times support stuff that most people outside the world of street art would consider a mess.

But there are some things that just make a mess, and are completely unnecessary. Like littering. We hate littering. Street art is about making the city more beautiful, and littering is straight disrespectful. Stash those sticker backs!

The young buck doing these hand tagged stickers hasn't got the memo yet. This person used dozens of stickers going over the wheat paste up top, and one more over The Status Faction at the bottom.

Well, instant karma came and laid a bitch slap right back, and the very same night that these stickers went up, someone else came and capped the entire massive combo up top with a poster ad.

Qtip is just left sitting there staring at all these sticker backs on the ground. It was really a mess. The trash went half way down the block.
