Banksy Confirms LA Crayon Art

Source: LAist - As they reprted, "the crayon-inspired house that popped up at Washington Blvd. and Compton Ave. is indeed the work of Banksy. The British street artist has now claimed the "Crayon Foreclosure" and two other new works, "Caution Fun!" and "This Looks a Bit Like an Elephant," via his website.

Melrose and Fairfax have confirmed the trailer painted with "This Looks a Bit Like an Elephant" is located in Santa Monica: "If you're taking the 10 west it turns into the pch. It will be on the right side across from the first state beach parking lot." However, they have not confirmed the location of the "Caution Fun!" (or kite crossing) piece; some suggest Long Beach.

An Evening with Guillermo del Toro Tonight!

Source: ZocaloPublicSquare - Guillermo del Toro knows his monsters, whether they’re vampires, ghosts, mythical beings, hell beasts or humans. His richly written creations are also visual marvels - from the grey-skinned ghost of  “The Devil’s Backbone” to the rickety, mossy faun of “Pan’s Labyrinth”. They occupy elaborately constructed fantasy worlds that, however gory and strange, have at their center sharply felt human emotion.

Del Toro, whose upcoming projects include a remake of “Frankenstein” and a three-part video game called inSANE, visits Zócalo to talk about his work, his vision, and why the monstrous and the human are so closely connected.

Los Angeles Muralist, 94, Paints the Seasons of Her Life

Source: LA Times - The mural outside Erma Winfield's Mid-City home has a Grandma Moses look to it. And not just because the artist who painted it is 94, either.  The artwork stretches across a 40-foot fence and depicts the four seasons in a linear, primitive folk-art style that captures scenes from Winfield's past, just as Grandma Moses' work did when she took up painting in her 70s. Like Moses, Winfield was raised on a farm and is a self-taught artist whose paintings are based on photos as well as her own memory. And like Moses, she paints on unexpected surfaces: Moses favored cardboard, and Winfield used corrugated fiberglass panels as her canvas.
