Shepard Fairey, skateboards, and plastic sugar skulls in Chinatown

Concrete Playground Shepard Fairey — **Skateboarding is the sports of teens in Los Angeles — at least it used to be before smart phones came along. This skateboarder by Shepard Fairey is in the Eastern Projects gallery in Chinatown.**

On a shopping trip to Chinatown I stumbled across an art gallery called Eastern Projects that is participating in the Pacific Standard Time LA/LA exhibitions.

The gallery is located on the street level of those new brilliant red buildings that almost overwhelm the old structures of Chinatown.

Slick skull head — **A classic Mexican image is the skull, here interpreted in plastic by the artist named Slick.**

Works by Shepard Fairey (of the famous Obama ‘Hope’ poster), Locos, Dusters, Slick and others followed the 2017 Pacific Standard Time ‘theme’ of Latin American art in Los Angeles. I was especially intrigued by the skateboard and skater images in the show.

Skateboards by Locos and Duster — **The skateboard installation at the Eastern Projects gallery in Chinatown includes videos.**

mouse ears locos skateboard 2017 — **Mouse ears graphic on a skateboard–what could be more So. Cal than that!**

locos duster skateboards 2017 — **A cooperative endeavor between Dusters and Locos in the Masters of Style show.**

Skull head skateboard — **Another version of the skull head image on the bottom of this skateboard.**

Slick cross — **Visually interesting cross by Slick. The whole show is being promoted as Masters of Style.**

And a block or so away from the art gallery is this artist working on the street.

Thanks for telling the world about this!
