Tonight

Wheat paste R.I.P

There are billboards in L.A. that are LCD display. A series of about 5 images rotate advertising Cars, Movies, Clothes etc. Riding my bike to the studio today I witnessed the Skull and Crossbones of L.A. artist Skullphone imbedded into the LCD as one of the images. I went back and took some photos, because these things never last long. Touche! I can’t wait until downtown Los Angeles becomes like Blade Runner.
