Life is Beautiful / Mr. Brainwash Art Show

Made it over to the "Life is Beautiful" art show by well known street artist, Thierry Guetta, aka Mr. Brainwash today. If you saw Banksy's "Exit Through the Gift Shop" then you know who Mr. Brainwash is. This show was 80,000 square feet of pure street art and I left there totally inspired. In fact I could go back again as I am sure I missed a ton of stuff - there was cool art everywhere.

And yes, that is a very blurry picture of me with Mr. Brainwash. Stoked to have met him - he was there for a nano second and I grabbed him to chat. Did you really think I wouldn't?

Art In The Streets

 

 

Needed a bit of inspiration this week so I checked out "Art in the Streets" at The Geffen Contemporary At Moca. It was amazing! I could have spent 4+ hours there looking all the insane art. So many different types of "street" art are shown - this post is photo heavy, but only shows a fraction of what you will see.

It ends August 8, so if you are in or near Los Angeles - don't miss it!

 FYI - FREE Mondays!!   British artist Banksy will sponsor free admission at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA every Monday for the duration of Art in the Streets. “I don’t think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it,” said Banksy.

Gotta love that dude!
