Amazing Pics of LA's 'Street Art District'

M&F contributor Keith sent in some amazing aerial pics of LA's now official 'Street Art District'.

These shots are really incredible, as the birds eye view really captures the sign and does the placement justice.

The sign is welcoming all artists at the corner of Melrose and Fairfax.

Stay up!

Authentic Cat Cult?

Last week we would not have thought twice about it, and would have assumed that this is Cat Cult.

But after seeing how Odd Future has been using some very similar cat heads as well, so similar that Cat Cult has filed a Cease-and-Desist order with the Fairfax crew.

Still, think this is an authentic cat head from Cat Cult.

Boomin' and Zoomin'

Kid Zoom is still boomin' with this piece riding from 2011 in downtown LA.

Graffiti Becomes Street Art

This wheat paste features a photo of Saber's American Flag installation that he did for Occupy Wall Street.

Now being put up on the wall, interesting transition how graffiti essentially becomes street art.

The paster is from TBD Photography.

Rock Addiction

This box monster from TSF has a clear rock addiction.

JR Back in Los Angeles?

Fresh new giant piece on Melrose and Martel.

Only one street artist goes this big with faces.  Even if another did, there is only one who could smoothly paste up the roll up gates at the bottom of this installation.  By all looks and appearances, it would seem that JR is back in Los Angeles!

Are You Sad?

Me too, sometimes.

Banksy's Garden Girl Isn't Going Anywhere

Many times, like the recent situation in the UK, Banksy's street art pieces get cut out of the wall and removed from the building they were placed on.  This is because the price of an authentic Banksy can sometimes be worth more than the building itself.

Well, Banksy's Garden Girl on Beverly isn't going anywhere.  It is a tremendous piece, well over 10 feet tall.  Furthermore, the wall that it is placed on is cracked and broken.  Even if someone wanted to, this art could not be captured in one piece.

As the picture below shows, there is even a half an inch difference between the different areas of the wall.  It looks as though this wall has been in this condition since before Banksy painted it, and his smooth use of the uneven surface is quite impressive.
