Just_Do_It_Take_It_Over

Entrepreneurial energy is all around me in Los Angeles. The streets are filled with people trying to be something, trying to do something or just trying to pursue the thing they always knew was in them. The spirit of the city keeps me inspired to keep at it, to pursue my dreams and to try new things that I might be interested in. The talent in this town is ridiculous and it keeps the bar raised at a level that seems so out of reach that people are striving that much harder because of it. That constant sense of always being better and doing whatever it takes to keep going is my favorite thing about LA. Here are some day to day examples of   artists doing what it takes.
Graffiti culture in LA is evolving, the days of scratching your names on a wall are over. 

Climbing a fence to get your space on the wall.

Setting up a performance in an alley so your sound can be heard.

Posting up your art with tape on a wall just so it gets seen.

Bang Gallery took over an empty bank to give artists space to create in, a pop up gallery downtown.

An empty theatre in disrepair is the perfect place for a show. Home depot lights take care of illuminating the artwork.
