Free Revok

Today as I walked along Fairfax, I stumbled across this storefront window. It's a homage to jailed street artist Revok. The two windows combined read "FREE REVOK" in bold dripping black lettering surrounded by splatters of pastel paints. It also reads "Art is not a crime". The window is staged with Montana spray paint, paint splatters and a ghetto blaster. The installation is by artist, Chad Muska.

Street Art Stroll down Fairfax

Today I was on Fairfax in Los Angeles headed to the camera shop. I saw some great pieces on the streets as I walked through the neighborhood where I picked up some new kicks at Keep's shoe boutique. I grabbed $1 pita wrap next door. Hit up RVCA, then Samy's Camera my final destination. Right before I got to Samy's, up one block, I saw this storefront window tribute to jailed street artist, Revok.

Bike Rack Cozy

This bike rack looks like it is loved.
Not your ordinary street art. We're used to seeing stencils, murals and stickers... but knitting? These hand-knitted bike rack cozies have been popping up on Sunset near Sunset Junction. The vibrant colors and cool patterns make any bike rack more homey for any visiting bike. This one is in front of K2 Restaurant.

Give Face

On La Brea, Los Angeles

Of course I'm on Facebook. You can see more LA Street Art there. Wheat paste by 2wenty.

Let's get it started

Os Gêmeos in alley way off Talmadge
I've been taking pictures of street art for years. From Venice Beach to San Francisco, I've been documenting the street art around me. I'm now living in Los Angeles near Sunset Junction in the Silver Lake neighborhood.

As I walk this urban landscape, I see it transform daily. I'm going to start posting my photos and sharing the art in my neighborhood with you.
