Street Gallery: The Newest Murals in Los Angeles
This past weekend I took a drive to see some of the latest murals that have been produced in Los Angeles. I want to be proactive and explore the city, instead of just scrolling pixels on my feed thru a cracked screen. Its not about being ahead of anyone else in the game, it's about getting out of my seat, eating some tacos and checking out new art work that's around the corner. Here are a few pics of some of the works I went to check out. -- Erwin Recinos
