“INSPIRE”

by Ali Gonzalez

Born in Chicago in 1911 Edmund Teske received his first box camera in 1920. By the mid-30s Teske was in Wisconsin working under the guidance of Frank Lloyd Wright and by the mid-40s was working for Hollywood studios. In 1969, two years before the world lost Jim Morrison at only age 27, Teske took Morrison and his girlfriend Pamela Courson to the Bronson Caves in LA’s Griffith Park and shot a series of iconic portraits, one of which was eventually used on one of two different album covers for “The Lost Paris Tapes”: a set of of never officially released songs and poems—recorded in Los Angeles but found in Paris after Morrison’s death. Decades later Los Angeles artist, muralist, designer and photographer Alex Gonzalez, aka Ali, used Teske’s portrait for this “inspiring” mural at @OceanStudiosBurbank on San Fernando Rd in Burbank, California.  @alex-ali-gonzalez  @alex_ali_gonzalez/

“LOVERS ROCK”

by Ali Gonzalez

“Inspiration is everywhere, keep your eyes open and stay ambitious” —Ali

Born and raised in LA, Alex “Ali” Gonzalez says whenever he would go to his grandma’s house near Highland Park he would be intrigued by the art on her walls—and the graffiti on the way there. Put in art classes by his mother in middle school, and taken to exhibits by his older brother, Ali started painting canvases for fun. Now gaining greater exposure with his mural work, he has painted three walls in the Los Angeles Arts District. This piece on Hewitt St. pays homage to Sade Adu and the band she formed 35 years ago in London. Lovers Rock was Sade’s fifth studio album, released in 2000.  @alex_ali_gonzalez   @sade   @sadeadu_
