Thank You



No, thank you~

^discovered these new Andy Warhol pastes on Melrose and Fairfax from street artist 'X'.

Great timing on the introduction of this piece. Not to turn this into a cheesy hallmark moment, but we have a lot to be thankful for this year.

We truly feel incredibly thankful for all the art on the streets of LA. We love finding it, documenting it, and sharing it with the rest of the world. We are thankful that Los Angeles Street art is finally getting the credit it deserves. We are thankful to all the fans everywhere, whose support has launched this blog to the #1 sticker blog in the world, and one of the top 10 street art blogs (and pushing the top 5, baby!!).

And we are thankful to this area of Melrose and Fairfax. It provides such an outstanding canvas. The area this blog focuses on between Los Angeles and Hollywood, is a place where every artist from all parts of LA will visit and leave some art. And every big name artist in the world, from Space Invader to Banksy, will make sure to leave their mark.

MELROSEandFAIRFAX is the most 'street' of any street art blogs. We capture everything from beginner's pieces to massive installations, and try to do it in a way that shares the conversation that is happening on the street.

To all the artists and fans, Thank You~

Mickey Avalon's My Dick B-Side


^New version


^Micky Avalon's version


^Mar's Original Girl

Apparently the stencil campaign posted yesterday was done by Mickey Avalon. We dig his 'My Dick' song, but not being a dick on the streets.

Someone wasn't pleased the placement of an Avalon stencil over Mar's girl in front of De La Barracuda, and decided to reclaim the spot with a B-side version to Mickey's with a new stencil.

We like the new version a little better.

Love it or hate it, all this action is a great example of the conversation between artists on the streets of Melrose and Fairfax.

In less than a week, Mar's girl was cloaked by Free Humanity, freed from that, stenciled over by Mickey Avalon (or someone doing his stencils), and then stenciled over again. Melrose and Fairfax is so unique because of the sheer amount of street art taking shape daily.

We will keep an eye on the spot for any further developments~
