Freebies - Sticker Pack from Skam

It is really cool to see how far the sticker world reaches, and how there are fans of MELROSEandFAIRFAX all over, and we just got a piece of Portland.

We had a lot of fun opening this fat sticker pack from Portland street artist, Skam.

Skam is a big name in the sticker world. He participates in nearly every sticker event, and has stickers all over the US through trades. He has done many collabs including work with Robots Will Kill, Subs, 455er, and Bride.

We even discovered one of Skam's stickers here on the streets of LA way back in 2009. And his stuff was all over peel.

Not only did the pack have a grip of Skam stickers, but also Portland's top sticker artists including Johnny Tradgedy, Full Bleed, Nasty Nate, Mr. Say Skev and more.

Thanks Skam. Portland looks dope~

Graffiti & Mormons - Street Art in Salt Lake City

MelroseandFairfax spent the last week in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah.

We had a great time exploring the streets and documenting the street art there.

Salt Lake has a vibrant street art scene, with loads of graffiti, wheat pastes, a handful of stickers, and the coolest 'non-traditional' street art that we've seen.

The city brings its own flavor to street art. Much of it is packaged with religious overtones. We hit many of the city's hot spots and captured some really cool stuff.



MelroseandFairfax is happy to have a solid folder of 137 pics of street art in Salt Lake. We look forward to blasting Salt Lake's street art alongside LA, and will be mixing it up. (side note: Los Angeles has a strong influence on the art world everywhere-and one of the coolest pieces of art that everyone in Salt Lake was talking about was the mural downtown at Fice by LA-based artists Retna and El Mac~)
