Street Art Colombia

I had to change my focus from the everyday blogging of LA Street Art. While I was in Colombia, I captured images in the form of murals, stencils, stickers, tags and other forms of graffiti. The streets and walls of Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín, Baranquilla and even remote towns have become the canvas for many street artists including: Toxicómano, DJLU, Lik Mi, Rodez, Malegria, Jim Pluk, APC, Mefisto, Colectivo Sopa y Seco, Ledania, Pez, Leonardo Gaitan, Stinkfish, Saint Cat and many more street artists.

Sand One Lashes Out

Sand One lashes out behind Echo Park tattoo shop, El Clasico. As a former make-up artist, I love the way she makes her lashes. I often give my characters 3-5 lashes that are quick upstrokes, but Sand One gets down on those lashes like a MAC make-up artist. And look at those lucious lips! Love her.

I also saw this mini blue graphic piece on a electrical box. I ran into the shop owner while taking this shop, he was a super nice guy and spoke very highly of Sand One. Check out El Clasico when you're in Echo Park and get some fresh ink.

Seraph & Yem at Work

I had the pleasure of running into Seraph and Yem at work on another mural in the Le Barcito parking lot in Silver Lake. Seraph is an incredible soul that shines through his intricate work that emerges from an organic world and provides insights to futuristic infastructures. Yem is working on some of his characters - one an aggressive cat creature and the other a peaceful gaia-like figure of a woman who has a killer blue buddag ear. I'll be posting pics when the wall is complete.

Menacing Piece up at Le Barcito

I love this purple people eater that just went up on Sunset in front of Le Barcito. I love that the monster has a little flower is his hair. Butcher staked out the spot a couple weeks back, but I didn't see his tag on this yet. It reads "PLAYME".

WIN Homo Riot Sticker Pack

The Homo Riot wagon was out today at Akbar's Bars in Space beer bust party in Silver Lake today. The truck is pretty pimp. It's custom patined by Homo Riot. It has a black backgroun with grey stencils of one dude giving another dude a blow job. The stencil is repeated as a background pattern with some words scrawled over it. There's a graphic black and white image over the with a bearded-bear-daddy with Kiss make-up tugging at his undies. Red blood drips below that over another sweet black and white pattern with the words "Homo Riot" stenciled repeatedly.

I scored some sweet gear courtesy of The Site Unscene. I got a tee, a brand new silkscreen vinyl sticker, some black and white stickers and signed photo of one of his street postings. I love this shirt that says "not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you".

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.
