A-n-o-t-h-e-r Beautiful Day?
Again? High eighties in L.A., and a snowfall in New York?
Sweaty sunshine, when Alabama is under frost warnings? Alabama!
Fire danger warnings for SoCal while flood warnings cover the Northwest?
Panhandlers at exit ramps shine in wifebeaters.
The East Coaster spraying his gigantic mural of an Urban Bigfoot snags an iced head band fastballed up to his cherrypicker.
Art gets finished, atmospheric anomalies linger, psyches jet into season-lag, and questions bloom.
Is it weather craziness that compels a neighbor one short week after its completion to declare this Urban Bigfoot an eyesore?
Perhaps.
But what was the craziness that caused City Hall to send an Official Notice to the
mural’s producer to immediately send this Bigfoot back to the land of the mythical
or risk a fine and jail time?
On a project carefully walked through the bureaucratic morass?
After the recent legitimization of art on walls?
Permits signed, sealed and delivered for full spray can ahead?
In the ARTS District?
WTF is that?

Could this “neighbor” be holding a grudge simply because the artwork is not his creation nor was it HIS Idea? Could this “neighbor” be letting his ego get the best of him? Or, does he simply have too much time on his hands and can’t resist the urge to cast drama out into the world??? And, why did he wait until it was Done? I’d tell this neighbor to get over himself. The mural is a great piece of art and it sure beats the heck out of the alternative graffiti that covers so many walls in our city.
perhaps the permits should have been spray-painted?
