Murals of Los Angeles 2nd Edition

Murals of Los Angeles. The beauty the culture the neighborhoods. All reflected in the murals of the city. They dont last. they disappear almost as fast as they appear. Sometimes years, sometimes decades, sometimes until the building is sold to an investment group who wants to build condos. Timeless only in the minds of those who enjoyed them while they were with us.

Its sad something I find so beautiful could be gone by the next time I cross town. But maybe that's why I find them so beautiful. There's something tragic about them. They live on borrowed time.

I love the Richie Valens mural from Pacoima California. You can see the cryptic firey plane crashing above his head.

Enjoy these now because they're going fast. With the rate of gentrification in this city some of these will be gone by next year. Art with an expiration date. Local artists. Pieces of Latin life and culture in the city of angels. Artistic masterpieces with no monetary value. Murals of Los Angeles.
