Mr Brainwash, In Lakers We Trust, Los Angeles

This is MBW’s latest mural on his studio. It celebrates the Lakers’ NBA championship, and has gone up the day before the Lakers’ parade.

It might be an understatement to say Mr Brainwash polarizes opinion.  While some people love his work, and he sells prints and originals at blazing speed, others criticize him for lacking originality and being overly commercial.  I like a lot of his work, but to me this piece doesn’t make it any easier to defend him.

I’m interested what others think.  Certainly some people must like this image – the print edition sold out instantly.

Shark Toof, Philadelphia + Venice Beach

Shark Toof recently hit NYC and Philadelphia, and his work is getting bigger and better.  The top two images are from Philadelphia;  Shark Toof says:

“Measuring 10 feet by 25 feet, painted in pouring Philly rain with old house paint, dried out brushes, a cup of water, a hard hat to keep the rain out of my eyes, and a trash bag over me to keep me dry…total time. 4 1/2 hours to completion…Thank You Philly.”

The bottom image is from Venice, California;  the shark is 4ft X 8ft, and the waves are hand painted.
