L.A. Street Art

There are these really cool signs (or bills) posted all over Los Angeles - people put them up to advertise things like art collections and special events that are going on around the city, but then they never take them down resulting in a modge-podge of materials posted on a metal surface. What is really cool about these is that they are usual pretty much always posted on the transformer or control box for intersection stop-lights. So for example, you can walk down La Brea, starting at Melrose or Beverly and pas probably 8-10 different control boxes before you reach Wilshire, giving you ample material for a cool project. So....

This is what I'm doing. Some of my pics are below - I'm hoping to photoshop them all together to make clusters of different posters. I think it'll be sweet! What do you think???

Great Idea, Some of the art is really cool--- it is also a good study on urban issues---
