Swank shot me these screengrabs of a traditional L.A. police chase that just so happened to fly by a wall Cache organized a while back. I hear it wasn't a great day for the driver, and he may or mat not have had to use his A.K...
Swank pointed me to this vid of the Tour de California rollin' in front of some lettering by Skypager (part of a collab mural with him, Cache, an unspecified cat-painting dude, and me.) (Thanks Swanky!)
In case you missed CicLAvia 2011, you can peep these vids by Swank and Modem to get a good idea of what it was like. L.A. street minus cars equals a big win for all!
This video/song is so many shades of wrong (besides ripping off Blur,) I debated even posting about it. Graffiti is really now just a fashion accesory. First, modelette Patty Hearst thinks she's down with the sickness; and now, Miss Thang Lindsay Lohan picks up a spraycan... I guess the "art scene" really is poppin'. Terrible.
(And if watching the whole video ain't enough for you, there's a 'making of' showing us how Lindsay gets down with the street art here.)
Here's another truck for "foodies" to chase around featuring Cantinflas. (Not sure if they have a tuiter though, so might haveta actually explore the city to find it...)
I subjected myself to some audio-visual waterboarding-level type torture to nab these screenshots. I got 'em from a "music" video by a $inger that I still can't believe is not some female Weird Al or SNL type of parody... Anyways, I won't put anyone through the pain and post the "song" but, yup, there does appear to be a mural Cache and I worked on with a few other homies in the background!
