Downtown LA Art Walk & Art Battles

by
We took the Metro downtown to go to the Art Walk.

We only managed to stop by two galleries before we came across the Art Battle.

4 artists, 4 large blank canvases and 90 minutes.

I got a little bored in-between and stepped out for some fresh air, came back in just in time for the final touch ups.

Once the time was up, the crowd got to vote on which artist we liked the best and who got to represent LA/US in Amsterdam later this summer.
Dave Zeboski was the winner;

My Little Pony Project

by
I had a few My Little Pony’s when I was a kid, but I was never that attached to them, I think I had them just because my friend had some. But, My Little Pony Project came to town and Martin Hsu had styled a pony. Since we are his biggest fans, we had to go and check it out.
When we got there, there was a line around the corner just to get in. Luckily, we managed to get in without having to wait in line…

Saturday

by
We had no real plans for the day but headed over to Fandy’s for brunch. My second attempt to drink a bloody mary – still not a big fan.

This may be one of the best chocolate bar in the world.

Winnie and Leo had a couple of pieces in a photo exhibition so we went to check it out in the evening.

Culver City is Invaded

by
We went for dinner in Downtown Culver City tonight and noticed we’ve been invaded! I first thought it was the street artist Space Invader, but it seemed very unusual to him so we took a closer look and it turned out to be an exhibit in collaboration between the City and the International Festival of Independent Games that’s held in Culver City this year.

Tim Burton & Saint Motel at LACMA

by
I have never been a big fan of Tim Burton, he has done some cool stuff, but I often just find him weird and creepy. I still wanted to go check out his exhibit at LACMA though, and thought it was a great opportunity to go when Saint Motel was playing at the museum as well.

We were not allowed to take photos inside the Burton exhibit, but I sneaked one in anyway…

I was excited to see Saint Motel – I missed them last time they played in LA. Silent Comedy opened for them, they were ok.

Saint Motel were really good! The LACMA lights made a pretty good backdrop as well!

Art in the Streets

by
MOCA is having a street art exhibition, I’ve been wanting to go since they opened in April and finally had a chance to check it out today!

Space Invader was welcoming us in.

It all started in the 1960’s when the automotive industry developed the spray paint.

Eric Haze iconic sketches on tracing paper.

I saw this tag and took a photo of it the first time I was in London, I believe it was back in 1998 or 99, I did not know back then that it was a Banksy.

I am a big fan of Banksy, he doesnt just tag places to have his tag seen, his tags always seems to be well thought out.

I wonder if he has an intern cutting out the stencils for him?

Jamie Reid work for the Sex Pistols.

Hugh Holland’s photographs of the Z-Boys from the 1970’s.

Shepard Fairy’s wall, I think he is a little overrated.

Hispanic street art is very detailed.

There was a room filled with neon junk. I did not quite understand it, but it was still pretty cool!

I loved this exhibition! Spent over two hors there and would not mind going back again!
