Hollywood - OTR + RTL Transformers Billboard - Pictures + Video

The summer has officially began! There are summer movie billboards everywhere in Los Angeles. This Transformers billboard got a nice upgrade by OTR and RTL.

The billboard was very short lived, I went to check it out a few days later and it was gone. Thankfully, it was captured on video and in pictures. Huge thanks to KzerGabeGallery for letting us use their pictures. Be sure to check them out on Tumblr for continued always up-to-date Los Angeles graffiti coverage.

Art in the Streets Cancelled in Brooklyn

The highly controversial Art in the Streets exhibit's next stop was supposed to Brooklyn. According to LA Weekly, the show has been cancelled. The Brooklyn Museum blames the lack of funds for not moving forward with the show. We think it was not wanting to take the heat from the residents of New York. Read the full article in LA Weekly.
