I really admire artists that do their thing just to put a smile on your face. Philip Lumbang paints these adorable bears all over the east side of L.A. View a fun video about a large-scale mural he recently did, on Boing Boing.

We heard he put up another so we tracked it down, as well! It’s in a much more prominent and more highly trafficked area, at Broadway and Howard.

Just coming up for a few minutes and a quick post…

After being tipped off by OnePlusInfinity that infamous artist Banksy had painted a mural downtown, in SOHO (Wooster and Grand), Jack and I tracked it down last night. Very, very cool.

P.S. Jack, feel free to expand upon this, if you wish. :)
P.P.S. Now, back to work, for me!
