Banksy in L.A.
Banksy has been in the news a lot lately making a push for his incredible documentery Exit Through the Gift Shop to win an Oscar. Well, he’s at it again leaving his mark across Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, one of which I just so happened to drive by yesterday not even realizing it was his. Check it out below along with some other pieces that are being found. He is also posting them to his website so stay tuned for more.
“The Crayola Shooter”
“Pissing Dog”
“Mallet Girl”
Space Invader
Graffiti, or Graffito is an Italian word defined as a scribbling or drawing on a flat surface. While on holiday/studying abroad in Rome for the month I’ve been making note of the graffiti that I’ve seen here. It’s not too different from what you see in LA. However, the graffiti found in Rome is often used to make political statements or proclaim messages of love. There isn’t as much of an emphasis on the artistic aspect of the writing or presentation of the message, they’re very straight forward. Rome is filled with graffiti, and some even dating back to 54-68 AD. While out the other night my friend had spotted a piece of graffiti that seemed a bit different than the rest; it was a piece of Space Invader’s artwork.
From Paris, Space Invader pieces together small colorful squares to form mosaics. These mosaics are inspired from the Space Invaders video game (circa 1970′s) and can be found around the world (yes, LA. This includes you). Check out Space Invader’s website to find the invasion nearest you.
Pictures from the We Eat Paint Opening Reception
WGWit had a great time at the We Eat Paint art show at Pop Monster last night, and captured some pictures to share with everyone who couldn’t be there.
These prints below by Sayaka Ito and Sol Park, respectively, were my favorite pieces there. These limited run prints can only be found at the Pop Monster store for as low as $25. Grab them before they run out!
All pictures from the opening reception can be viewed here.

Seeking The Throne
LA based clothing line Seeking The Throne has made its move into todays street culture. Co founded by Elias Tebache & Jose Tebache in 2009, Seeking The Throne is often compared to other street wear lines such as Crooks & Castles & The Hundreds.
I have been keeping up with their blog for quite some time now. It has a diverse presentation of art, music, and fashion. I reccomend you visit their online store and pick up a T if not a couple of stickers. You can follow up with STT on their site Seekingthethrone.com, Facebook, & Twitter. If you have any questions for STT blast them an e-mail @: info@seekingthethrone.com.

TRON Pop-Up Shop at Royal/T
TRON has a pop-up shop at Royal/T featuring TRON merchandise, some being exclusive to the store. Their cafe will also be serving special themed menu items for the duration of the event. Although there will be plenty of affordable merchandise, according to the Hollywood Reporter, some of the items in the store include “luxury jewelry (such as the Tron Icon Necklace, by Rotenier, $2,600) and fashion items (including the Clu Hobo Bag, by Hayden-Harnett, $478, and the Qorra Couture Platform Sandal, by Jerome C. Rousseau, $795).”
TRON Pop-Up Shop:
November 19 – December 23, 2010
10am – 6pm, daily
Royal/T
8910 Washington Boulevard
Culver City, CA
(310) 559-6300
On an advertising/marketing note, Susan Hancock, owner of Royal/T said that, “Disney looked at us for our hipster crowd and the fact that we have an urban edge. It’s about reaching the influencers.” The hipster mentality explains the graffiti-esque mural painted in Echo Park on the side of a phở restaurant, Xoia that I saw on my drive home earlier this week.
TRON is in theatres December 17, 2010.
