kitty visual culture of los angeles i


Admittedly, some will find that (i) ominous, but this will, undoubtedly, be the first of a series ... Goodness knows what this signifies, pasted to a window close to Sunset Junction.   I was watched, as I took it, by 3 workmen who clearly recognised a crazy woman when they saw one.   It definitely has character, half way between protective and menacing; there's an LA in the middle of the cap, but I'm not sure whether that cap belongs to a sports team or a utilities company - and in any case, why?   Silver Lake, and Sunset Junction in particular, continually sprouts an eclectic assortment of enigmatic street art - little affiches, small and large stencils, posters and decals and a few more formal murals.
