Edward Snowden - Man of Steel

2013-06-17T21:00:00.001-07:00

Plastic Jesus hits the streets with a new Superman themed piece based on Edward Snowden, the NSA contractor who leaked the fact that the NSA is recording every single thing put online, every single phone call, and text.

The information that Snowden revealed will lead to arguably the largest privacy fight of the digital generation. However, instead of talking about the issues that Snowden raised, the mass media seems more focused on what his girlfriend looks like, and smearing his character. Snowden has taken it all in stride, and said that getting called a traitor by Dick Cheney is a back handed compliment. Indeed, it is.

Even if the mass media and the government itself gets upset when a citizen shows that what the government is doing is wrong, it takes a true man of steel to speak truth to power. Dig that Plastic Jesus gives Snowden this Superman treatment.

Big ups to Snowden for daring to risk his own safety to help all of America. Stay up!~

2013-06-17T16:30:00.000-07:00

New hand painted paster on Melrose saying 'We Are the Music Makers and We Are the Dreamers of Dreams'.

Dig it~ M&F has often said how street artists are the rock stars of the art world, and this piece captures the heart of being a dreamer and an artist. Keep making sweet music to make the world like it should be in your dreams~

The paster from Wil on the other side of the box serves like a catalyst for this thought, as well. Eat. Drink. Smoke. Fuck. Create Art. Make Music. Its a good program for a happy life~

Stay up!

Sometimes the Art Lasts Longer than the Streets

2013-06-15T18:00:00.000-07:00

Most of the time, street art is transitory and short lived. But sometimes, the art lasts longer than the streets.
