Urban Iconography


Next week is a show not to be missed.

Saturday October 9th Pedersen Projects will host the opening of Urban Iconography--a gallery exhibition showcasing some of LA's top street artists -Euth, Inept, Shark Toof and Smog City.

This show is particularly exciting because all of the artists are active on the streets, throwing down some of the dopest aesthetics around. If you follow the blog you know the weight that these artists carry.

The show features a massive 8 panel mural of combined art work.

The buzz has been festering and we get the feeling that these artists are on the tip of blowing up. Its the start of a movement.

Also, prints from Faile, OBEY, AIKO, and Blek Le Rat will be available at the show.

We are excited for this one~


The Opening Reception is Saturday October 9th from 6-10pm, and Urban Iconography runs through November 6th.

Andre Has a Posse, Terry Has a Hottie


It seems that a lot of sticker artists make a tribute/new version of the classic "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" sticker by Obey.

Here's Bankrupt Slut's version.

Featuring Terry Richardson and an old lady (his mom?!), it seems he gives a thumbs up for having a hottie.

This Truck is All Over






This truck is all over town.

Graffiti in Victorville, California

Victorville knows whats up.

As MelroseandFairfax continues on our roadtrip, we've had the opportunity to see some graffiti in far off places. And even though Victorville is a small town, it appears to have a vibrant graffiti scene, much stronger than the town size would suggest.

We only drove the main strip (looking for gas- this is NOT the place to get gas, we drove the main strip from one end of town to the other and did not find a single gas station!?) but we did see a lot of graffiti, from big rooftop buildings, to throwie's on trucks, to tags and stickers. ITS really stood out with a strong paint and sticker game.

Enjoy the flics~

Obey the Buff Monster


An OG street art sign from Obey and Buff Monster.

I think that Obey and Buff Monster are good friends, so guess this is a tribute.

Love the Andre Buff Monster.

Mear One Mural Behind 6th and La Brea - Incredible





This mural is beyond words. One of our favorite paintings ever- the colors, movement, energy and presence of this piece are incredible.

Painted by Mear One in the alley way behind 6th and La Brea, the painting is a tribute to Alphonse Mucha.

Outstanding. A must see if you are in the Los Angeles area~

Gozm



We snapped the Gozm sticker in the valley and the tag on Melrose.

Really cool to see how Gozm's style has developed over time from simplistic to sick handstyle.

Clever


Clever and Gozr?
