Smoke em if ya got em!

Stickers and tags from Jazer, Bluer, The Rap Ambassador, Signe, Agroe, 2much, Serch, WD, Bankrupt Slut, Phobik, street art, Los Angeles,

TSF Is In Your Nose!


The Status Faction is in yo nose fool! And in yo face!!

This massive sticker commands attention.

Slapped on at the busy intersection of Sunset and Laurel Canyon.

Size matters. And hands down, TSF has the biggest with the sticker game we have seen on the streets of Los Angeles this year.

Stay up! and Stay lit~

Angry Bee


This Bee is angry at getting buffed.

TRB's are Dicks


Not sure if this is paster from Bran, a jab at the TRB crew, or just something different altogether.

Under a sticker from Gregory Siff.

Hooked Up - Destroy All Design




Destroy All Design hooked MELROSEandFAIRFAX up with a fat pack before bouncing down to Miami for Art Basel.

What is really cool is the pack included both high quality prints, and also pieces on thin paper - ones that are made for the street.

All kinds of interpretations of Destroy All Designs iconic 'joystick'. Our favorite is the Van Halen~

Big thanks to Destroyer for hooking it up.

Keep Destroying~

Horny Cool Character


Really dig this horned character. It looks ancient. Not sure who the artist is cause the first letter is missing ?atal.

Under a Brittney Spears baby from Bankrupt Slut.

ResPress


We don't see much from Restitution Press on the streets these days, but its cool when we do.

Found this sticker on Sunset Blvd.

Eine on Fairfax


Boom.

Eine kills Fairfax.

Army of One


Army of One really slammed the city when they rolled through town a few weeks.

We keep finding new pieces. Found this soldier on Beverly Blvd.

Desire Obtain Cherish


Street art in downtown Los Angeles from Desire Obtain Cherish, Cryptik, Gats, Cody

Big Los Angeles~ Mr. Cartoon


This is arguably one of Los Angeles' most famous graffiti walls.

By Mr. Cartoon. The artist/tattooist has more than made a name for himself. From Nike shoes to the streets, Mr. Cartoon represents LA to the hilt.

Big Los Angeles~

Echo Park Art Wall


Art all over the place.

From low_d, Hugh Lee Man, Zombie, Slick, Free Mndz, Calli Killa, My Grandma Needs Safe Access, Laser, and Martin Luther King Jr. (its been posted but forget the artist?).

A Head of the Game


After a buff, only a few head tops are left.

Looks like a Kobe head tagged by Fishe next to a huge piece by Siezer, JTS and Lust.

Lost Freedom



A hung painting saying Lost Freedom. Can't make out the artist's name?

Underneath, James Dean Zombie sticker from unknown artist, Abcnt, DTA, Chris Clarke, and a few more unknown stickers.

Rotting Fresh Wall


Rotting Fresh has got a great name, and it really latches onto the essence of street art-this peeling wall shows how it can be rotting and fresh at the same time.

Diamond eyed skulls from Rotting Fresh and other art from Free Humanity, KH no. 7, Wheat Peace, Eddie, Yo Peace, Gats, Meow, Hackum Sackum



***As to the comment, not sure what the chanel refers to?***

Leba


American Gangster character.

Looks like it was hand painted and spray painted. On the Street Art Wall downtown in Los Angeles.

From Andy Warhol to Van Gogh


A couple of wheat pastes. Andy Warhol from artist 'X' and Uncle Sam from Zombie.

This is set across the street from The Hundreds store in Los Angeles, and have been adorned with some Hundreds stickers.

And the cool thing is these stickers from The Hundreds are done in the theme of Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Fine Art meets Street Art.

With all of this staged in front of one of our favorite graffiti walls of all time (consisting of work from Retna, Revok, Rime, Saber, Norm, Os Gemeos). Well, its arguable whether this street art is not indeed fine art?

Inept - Creativity Ignition


Inept also has a wall at Manual Arts School around the corner from ROA's mural.

It being the weekend, and schools being something like prisons these days, we couldn't get a close-up and had to snap the pic from outside the fence.

The writing to the right says Creativity Ignition, which we think describes Inept's art quite well.

There is some graffiti to the left of Inept's from a couple unknown artists. Is it from Kofie?

***Thanks Hieronymous. We'd love to go back sometime when we can get a better look at all the art.***

Hooked Up - Pack from Gregory Siff


Gregory hooked up MELROSEandFAIRFAX with a fat pack of goodies when we attended his art show 'Door to Door Adore' on Saturday at 360Atelier.

He shared a custom t-shirt, sticker/pin pack and 2 original pieces featuring his Skull With Burning Heart image. We love the OG's, but we especially adore the custom t-shirt. Really unique and made for the event.

Gregory's art has been embraced by Hollywood and his work can be found in the collections of Lindsey Lohan, Robert Downey Jr., and Tricky.

Alec's Back and the Hater's Hate


Dethkills STILL hasn't put any new art up, but apparently they do still have a bucket of paint to carry around and cross stuff out. Like this, with Alec's Twiggy.

(But, as has happened before, we kinda dig the end result~)

**Maybe it is someone other than Dethkills. We assumed it was because of their earlier work writing DK over pieces in the same color paint**
