Ruby Red Slippers on Sunset Blvd.

No, you're not in Oz. This is Silverlake. A street artist hung up a pair of ruby red slippers to glitter above Sunset Blvd at Sunset Junction. The red sequence covered heels couldn't have a better home... outside Hollywood in the thriving gay community of Silverlake.

LA Vs. WAR will mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11 2001 attacks with a massive group art exhibition and event taking place in Downtown Los Angeles from 9/9/11 to 9/11/11 at the Vortex. LA Vs. WAR presents some of today’s most prolific, pro-peace/anti-war, political artists in a multi-media exhibition chronicling the creative responses to the current military conflicts in the Middle East/North Africa/Central Asia, The Global War on Terror, the Drug Wars, and other wars on marginalized peoples. After the September 2011 show, we plan to travel the exhibition as "Vs. WAR" to other cities in the U.S. and abroad in the spirit of peace and creative collaboration.

LA Vs. WAR is part exhibition, part experience. The art show will be curated byYo! Peace, Center for the Study of Political Graphics, Political Gridlock and Ad Hoc Art and will feature a large selection of fine art and limited edition prints and posters. Live art demonstrations and workshops will engage the audience in creative activities ranging from graffiti, t-shirt printing, stenciling, and more. Teach-ins with our grassroots partners will inform and inspire attendees to transform their own lives and communities.

Elliot Smith Resurrected

The wall between Solutions Music and Malo Restaurant in Silver Lake has become a memorial for the late Elliot Smith. This wall was the site for his album cover "Figure 8". Over the years many people have scrawled their memories and notes to Elliot. The wall then became layered with tags and graffiti.

I believe the people at Malo Restaurant repainted the wall and included a stencil of Elliot (just like the album cover) on August 6 in celebration of his birthday.
