What I’m reading.

Lost: Graffiti in the City of Angels
The Modern Art Kids Crew, in Lost.

Eyeone of the Seeking Heaven crew in L.A. was kind enough to send me a copy of a beautifully-designed book he just produced called Lost: Graffiti in the City of Angels. This photo-heavy spiral hardback features a decade’s worth of L.A. graffiti and covers more ground than anyone with a set of four wheels and a camera could possibly hope to do.

Los Angeles, with its endless miles of concrete riverbeds, industrial drain pipes, arroyos and alleyways is a great location for graff, but unless you know where the heck you’re going, you can spend a lot of time looking at nothing. This book, however, is a great chronicle of both new and older works in places the average person would never find on their own. A lot of the pieces are long gone, produced by artists who are also gone. Thankfully for the rest of us, their work has been well recorded.

Want a preview? Follow the jump for pix of random images from the book.

I’m currently doing some investigative research on the burritos of Southern California. As a result, posting times will be operating on Pacific Time, and may be erratic due to entanglements with carne asada and rush hour traffic. Thanks for your patience! xox, C.
