Banksy's Garden Girl Gets Covered By Glass
Banksy might have been cut out of the wall in the UK, but here in LA Banksy's Garden Girl stencil just got covered up by protective glass.
This was one of the last remaining Banksy pieces in its natural habitat on the street before getting covered.
Many street art purists bemoan whenever a piece like this gets protected, but most fans are just glad that the art continues to ride.
Stay up!
Silverlake Hot Spot
This Silverlake street art spot is slammed with action.
Lots of pieces from TBD Photography and Thrashbird, intermixed with many more.
"What is the Best Way an Aspiring Actress Can Get Into Hollywood?"
This painting on the side of a building in LA says Johnny Carson asked Bette Davis 'What is the Best Way an Aspiring Actress Can Get Into Hollywood?' - Take Fountain!
Fittingly put, on Fountain.
Painting from Panhandle Slim.
Banksy is a Game Changer
Banksy isn't just another street artist, he is the game changer.
Recently, one of Banksy's stencils got cut out off the wall in London, and then the next week the same piece appeared at an auction house in Miami. The 'captured' Banksy piece is scheduled to go up for sale this weekend.
Aside from accusations that taking a piece from the street is wrong, it is fascinating how the larger conversation has local British politicians tripping over words to try and get the piece back. In an article from the The Star entitled British Neighborhood Wants Its Banksy Back, a local lawmaker Lynne Featherstone is quoted as saying “(It’s) totally unethical that something so valued should be torn without warning from its community context.” Haha. Never mind the ethical context of something being placed in the community without warning in the first place. Alas, it would be a different world for street artists if only all lawmakers felt this way . . .
Indeed, Banksy is a game changer. His street art work has politicians lamenting the removal of his work, not the illicit act of putting it up in the first place. Can you imagine what the walls would look like if politicians fought to protect the art work instead of buffing over it and tearing it down? Thanks to Banksy, that might just be the future of street art.
At least for Banksy pieces~

Ramiro Gomez Jr. - Studio Visit
Here is a studio glimpse at Ramiro Gomez Jr.'s Academy Award street art piece. As you can see, these are hand painted then form cut by Ramiro before getting placed out on the streets.

Sticker from Gentle Jeff on Melrose. So gentle, that it is on the sidewalk and not stuck to something more agressive.

The Ilegal Mezcal are fucking like rabbits in an all out rabbit orgy.

Stolen Academy Award!
Earlier today, Ramiro Gomez Jr. put up an Oscar themed street art installation honoring the workers and the people behind the scenes at the Academy Awards.
Well, a few hours later, the giant Oscar statue cut out got stolen, and one of laborers got knocked down.
Ramiro was disappointed, but his spirit was not broken. Ramiro returned to repair and fix his remaining piece. And as for the stolen Oscar, Ramiro says that the workers are going to be there still, even if there are no awards given to them.
Head in a Hole
Roa's animal has its head buried in a hole. Perhaps it has some Volkswagon sized acorns buried down there.
The Monster Behind the Fence
Absolutely insane graffiti monster painted on the flip side of the fence.
With letters from Sal, Bake, Keno, Hamr, and more.
And The Academy Award Goes To . . .
Ramiro Gomez Jr. handed out his own Academy Awards this year, and some might argue to folks who are more deserving. Ramiro's award goes not to the ones on the big screen, but the ones behind the camera who truly make all the magic happen.
Ramiro says that:
The actors and actresses nominated for the awards will probably not thank their gardeners, housekeepers, or nannies in their acceptance speech, but here I am trying to interrupt the luxurious sunset blvd. route to Hollywood to nominate people who will never get an award.
