Outside Lila Jolla Studios, 1002 Prospect St., La Jolla, CA www.lilajollastudios.com
If this project was based in Pacific Beach, its intention would be to keep the wasted from pissing on public property. Instead, I had the fortune (or misfortune) of creating art in a cleanlier part of the City. In this case, it was designed to stimulate feelings of peace to passers-by along this busy intersection of Downtown La Jolla. It's a well-known fact that people are products of their environment: every dull surface in a city is an opportunity to spread a message to its people.
Whether it's tagging for street cred, or an opportunity to make somebody feel something out-of-the ordinary, I now see how semi-illegal street art is a really positive experience to be had by all! We need more Banksys and Shepard Faireys out there. Realist rousers, criminal carousers: catalysts to the life experience. What, after all, is a truly ordinary if you look around?
