Haters Gonna Hate


Apparently Dethkills is killing time waiting for their next art-killing corporate street campaign by capping more art.

Art battles are one thing, but Dethkills hasn't been bringing any new art to the streets, just limiting themselves to defacing other artists' pieces. MelroseandFairfax must say that it is interesting how the colorways of the going over paint seem to go along with the colorway of the piece.

This massive Mr. Brainwash stenciled wall has been running for years.

This piece is really impressive.

Random Acts of Flowers


Spotted some fresh new flower from Random Act, artist Andrea LaHue.

MelroseandFairfax assumed Andrea's artwork was solely located in Los Angeles, but she has traveled from coast to coast painting flowers. To watch a video and peep more of her art work check out Andrea's site

MelroseandFairfax risked life and limb to get this shot.

Nearly got tagged stepping into the middle of the road on Fairfax early in the morning to snap the shot of our favorite Herbert, not to mention Hippo, Herbert the Hippo.

Herbert is in good company with DWA, Destroy All Design, AUWC, Geor?

Hand Drawn Bombs by Gone


Spotted this hand drawn sticker from artist 'Gone' straight across from The Hundreds store on Rosewood.

Not sure if it is a take on the Hundred's bomb logo, but we are really diggin the characters.

Joaquin Phoenix by Shepard Fairey






The Joaquin Phoenix posters have been popping up all over town.

Although there is no direct branding, the posters are to promote Phoenix's upcoming biographical documentary that deals with his his rap career.

With an image design by Shepard Fairey, these posters have drawn both love and hate from the street art crowd.
