KYEO: Skullphone in Santa Monica / Digital Media @ Subliminal Projects

Spotted at Olympic & Lincoln, outside Company 3. First Skullphone piece I’ve seen in a while. Apparently his new show Digital Media has been running at Subliminal Projects and is wrapping up July 2nd. Watch the vid below.

Dots are big part of his latest wave of work, “Through painted pointillism, the imagery dislocates as the artwork is approached.”

Check out Skullphone‘s Digital Media show by Friday at Subliminal Projects in Echo Park. Or snag some prints in the online store.

KYEO: Wheatpaste on Market St, Name That Casual Male

Wheatpaste on Casual Male

Wheatpaste Close Up

Spotted these wheatpaste pieces on Market this morning. DigiDave says they’ve been poppin’ up around town. Is it just a random dude in a Yankees hat? Or is it bizarro Hank?

UPDATE:

The artist is San Francisco’s Hugh Leeman.

KYEO: Shark Toof on Sunset in Echo Park

Shark Toof Wheatpaste-ups

Last December Photo-, Cinema-, and all-around Ographer Davon Slininger took me around Echo Park to appease my thirst for good beer. Stopped at some LA-y wine bar, had Belgian strong ale PranQster on tap, and spotted these wheatpastes outside.

The smokes artist is LA fixture Shark Toof. He’s got prints, shirts, and gear over at Ghetto Glass.

The zombie artist is Euth One. (Thanks, Seth Brundel!)
