Pico & Wilshire on La Brea

Finally got a car free shot of this massive Pico & Wilshire paste. Magnus the eagle is also hanging out up top.

Located on La Brea.

Also featuring artwork from Cyrcle and Gone

Bankrupt Slut - Failing, But Succeeding At Something~

This pole in front of The Hundreds always has a lot of art on it.

The city came through and buffed it back to a blank canvas, leaving only two pieces to survive. Bankrupt Slut's 'It's Better to Fail at Originality than it is to Succeed In Imitation' and The Loyal Subjects' Magnus were the only two pieces left.

You can see the start of the brush stroke on the Bankrupt Slut piece.

Stay up and stay slutty~

Fortunately, one of these rabbits escaped extinction with prime placement high on the wall.

Still love the overall look, and especially the hand cut frame.

Anyone know the artist?

The rabbit and Magnus compliment each other well~

The Loyal Subjects Go Big- Pico & Wilshire

The Loyal Subjects have been taking street art to the next level. Following a popular street campaign with Magnus the eagle, TLS takes it to the next level with a massive Pico & Wilshire full color wheatpaste on Melrose.

This piece is huge-over 10 feet tall. And what is especially impressive about this is the high quality print that was used. It is essentially a giclee print on the street.

If you're like us, you can only dream of having this piece at home. The good news is you can bring home your own Pico & Wilshire figures. Limited to only 415 pieces worldwide and featuring Joe Ledbetter's signature bold lines, they are up for pre-order now at The Loyal Subjects Website

MelroseandFairfax loves collectible designer art figures and we are really excited to see Pico & Wilshire on the streets and in soon in our homes!

Joe Ledbetter gets up on Fairfax

I am a big fan of Jled.

Joe Ledbetter is a painter/graphic artist/toy maker who created a colorful menagerie of real and made-up animal based characters. Jled's characters are easily recognizable for their bright colors and sharp lines.

One of my early memories of LA street art was years ago when I was visiting and saw a Mr. Bunny sticker next to Gallery 1988 on Melrose. I didn't know much about street art at the time, and the Jled sticker peaked my interest. I personally have many Jled figures and prints in my collection.

This bright yellow eagle guy is named Magnus--and if you like him you can get him in toy form or see him in paintings if you check out Jled's art show at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City. The show opens this Friday, June 4th.

It is good to see Jled hit the streets again.
