Graffiti Vandals turn Violent in LA

Graffiti vandals turn violent in LA

LOS ANGELES (AP) - One man got stabbed. Another got shot in the chest. A 6-year-old boy was temporarily blinded when he was spray-painted in the face.

And they were the lucky ones among those who have had run-ins with graffiti "crews," or gangs.

Over the past 2 1/2 years in Southern California, three people have been killed after trying to stop graffiti vandals in the act. A fourth died after being shot while watching a confrontation between crews in a park.

New Pics: Hand Stencils and the Blender

Headed out to the Grampians National Park for a few days, and found hand stencils at one of three rock art sites I visisted. Also walked around the inside of Ha-Ha's Blender space and took as many photos of the stencils that he's working on and that are on the inside walls.

Latest Melbourne/AU uploads are here.

First Batch of Melbourne Uploads

Day two in Melbourne. Haven't gotten out much today due to some net zombie time. Blogged yesterday and now waiting for the slow upload to finish. Wish I had time to pick through these photos and credit artists. Too many stencils to even individually photograph! The Lanes run here so many great spots to find stencils. More too, from a quick drive today. Off to visit Peat and give him his power adapter.

Uploads from yesterday (and the lane by the Blender space today)

PaperMonster show at Art Whino

Make sure to mark you calendars for what will be a massive showing over at Art Whino (www.artwhino.com) on August 2nd from 6pm to midnight. The show is in collaboration with TAGUR and each artist was given one blank TAGUR sneaker to customize. In addition, each artist was also asked to create one original canvas piece to go along with the shoe for the show. The amount of artists in attendance will be legendary and you can check out the list below on the flyer for the show. If you are in the area it is a show that you can not miss and if you are out of town it is surely a show you want to drive down to. PaperMonster will also be in attendance handing out stickers to the crowd. Be sure to stop by!! Enjoy!!
