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.
