This is the first time a major museum is doing an exhibit exclusively of street art. It will cover street art from the 1970's through the present and of course include international street art stars Banksy and Space invader.

Emmett and I decided to do an art crawl through the streets of LA to gear up for the upcoming exhibit.

we don't look enough to street art, it can be so beautiful, but we have to look at it. I am so into camp, so the doggy is my absolute favorite, it is hilarious. sometimes (contemporary) art can be too hard to understand, so i love funny easy art. and as i said i love camp, Koons is one of my favorite, really want to have a dog like that in my garden.
Lovely photos!
