Teach Peace -- Thrashbird Style!
Teacher and Thrashbird team up on an impressive billboard takeover. The piece features a modified billboard with Thor now saying 'Teach Peace -- Thrashbird Style!'.
As if bombing a billboard in Hollywood weren't impressive enough, there are two things that are particularly noteworthy about this particular takeover. First, notice the life size model on the billboard, posed as if trying to snap a cell phone picture of Thor. Nice work, and also crazy to see the how tiny the actual is when compared to a billboard. The other thing is the screen on the cell phone. Even though it looks like it, its not a real cell phone, Teacher actually painted the screen image! Dang! Talk about attention to the smallest detail on a massive scale.
If you want to see this piece in person, you can catch it along the way to Bankrupt Slut's show tonight in Burbank because this piece is on Cahuenga Blvd.
Dig it. Stay up!

Teacher - Rush to Teach Peace
Banksy is big news, but back in Los Angeles the art marches on as always.
Teacher just smashed a hot new billboard on Melrose, modifying it to say 'Rush to Teach Peace!'.
Teach hit this spot in honor of his brother and sister-in-law's 15 year anniversary.
Stay up!

The Walking Dead Thrashbird
Billboard takeover by Thrashbird.
Dig how Thrashbird interacts with the billboard, making the message his.
Dirt Cobain also tagged and slapped a couple of pasters up there, but they do not interact with the piece. They are just there.
The difference really points out the difference between using the streets to make a statement opposed to just slapping shit up. Not that there is anything wrong with either, just one is clearly on an elevated level.

You'll Never Know What Funny Can Do
Teacher gets up on another billboard. The billboard already says 'You'll Never Know What Funny Can Do', and Teacher came and added a thought bubble that says 'Please Teach Peace'.
At the bottom Teacher added 'for Stanley' in honor of Teach's recently deceased friend, Stanley Dashew.

See Things Differently - Create Your Future
Shepard Fairey gets a new sponsored billboard for the LA Fund.
This one says 'See Things Differently - Create Your Future' with some signature Obey iconography.
Like with Retna, its a strange brave new world where artists go from bombing billboards to being given them. What are the new rules?

Get Up, Stay Up!
Impressive billboard bombing in the Valley.
Think this is 2 separate pieces. The orange one on the left from 125 and the white one on the right from the ER crew. The names still work together so not sure if this was bombed at the same time?
