MY ONE DAY STUDIO IN WALES, UK

On my trip to Bristol last week, we were invited by a good friend to spend the day with her and her family at their 300 year old home in Wales for lunch and some down time.

Me and my crew mates Vyal and Werc took her up on the offer and the experience was extremely memorable.

I never expected that Wales was such a beautiful place! Here are a couple of shots to share with you..
enjoy!

COUPLE OF INDIANS ON WINSTON...BUFFED!!

Me and Vyal created this new piece last week on the corner of Los Angeles St and Winston in DTLA.
The piece attracted a lot of positive attention in the Skid Row area and even business owners noticed a slight increase in sales the week that it was up.

Somehow, mysteriously, as of August 7th, the mural has been buffed, erased, GONE!

The only witness to the buffing was a security guard at the Jeffries across the street.  He said it looked like a city crew but the Downtown BID and the Office of Community Beautification graffiti abatement crews have all gone on record saying they were not involved.

If anyone has any information as to who might have done this please let us know.

Anyhow, enjoy the pictures of what once was...
