Ron English Saber Billboard is Back

I though my eyes are playing tricks on me. The Ron English Saber collaboration billboard has been covered for months with a Ryan Seacrast KIIS FM ad. Somehow, the original billboard appeared again. I thought that it was redone, but it looks to be the exact same one. Here are the original pictures of the billboard, there is also a video showing Saber paint the billboard.

LA Writer Spotlight: NAUT

We give credit where credit is due. In my travels around Los Angeles, I have seen Naut up in some really difficult spots. He seems to favor back of billboards in areas that ensure long time visibility. Here is a small collection of his work.

Billboard on La Cienega

Getting to the back of a billboard is just as difficult to as the front. It is a bit easier to do the work. The advantage however, is that the graffiti is almost always guaranteed stay up longer.

I have been driving past this billboard for what seems like many years. I finally took a picture. It is on La Cienega, close to the 10 East Freeway in Los Angeles.

Saber / Ron English Billboard Gets Replaced

I am sad to report that the awesome Saber, Ron English billboard collaboration has been replaced by a KIIS FM billboard. It seems that someone else was upset about the replacement as well. Ryan Seacrest's face has paint all over it. I must admit, it is an improvement.

Obey Giant Billboard Gets Visitors

It's always fun to see how billboards change. The Obey Giant billboard on Pico in Los Angeles that I posted about 3 weeks ago now has some new graffiti on it. Some of the same people hit this billboard as the ones that painted at the Plant Nursery.

Fill-ins on one side, Obey Giant wheat paste on the other side. Is there a site more beautiful than that? I found this gem on Pico Blvd fairly close to Century City in Los Angeles.

Saber Billboard Greetings from the Occupation


This morning I was treated to an amazing billboard done by Saber. The billboard is on La Cienega Blvd, a few blocks south from Pico Blvd on the way to the 10 Freeway.
Saber Billboard
The left side of the billboard has a picture of a soldier dressed as a clown. To the right of it says "Greetings from the Occupation" and under it says: "Wish You Weren't Here." To the right of it there is a Saber piece.

It is a really impressive billboard. I don't expect it to stay up long so I urge you take a look if you are in the neighborhood.

Update: Video showing Saber paint the billboard

Los Angeles Graffiti Going Strong

I take the same freeway exit day after day. It is the La Cienega exit from the 10 East. Nothing makes the same boring exit better than some fresh graffiti. Last week I was greeted by an LGFKings piece.

Billboards are getting hit as well. This picture was taken Monday night. I assume that it was done over the weekend. This was done by Saut.
