DOWNTOWN LA ARTWALK

by ShowzArt and SkidRobot

Self-proclaimed “art jedi” ShowzArt credits his mother with his passion for community and his father with his illustrative abilities. Moving to South Central Los Angeles with his family as a child ShowzArt was introduced to graffiti early on but soon traded spray cans for brushes. Actively working from the streets of Skid Row, Showzart has been a powerful voice for equal rights and services for all disenfranchised, no matter their background. Also raised in Los Angeles SkidRobot—founder of the Living Art Project—has been perhaps the most visible artistic voice addressing the city’s complex homelessness issues with his paintings of dream homes and beachscapes on the walls of Skid Row helping bridge the gulf between the “us” and the “them.” In early 2018 the two joined forces to paint this wall on S. Spring St for the Downtown LA ArtWalk.  @_showzart_/  @skidrobot/

A #throne for “Beto” a #king without a #castle who has terminal lung cancer. He finds peace in books and contently enjoys the days he has left under this bridge... #skidrobot #dtla#skidrow#losangeles #losangelesgraffiti#graffiti#streetart #streetphotography#streetshot

A throne for Arnold, a king without a castle. Born in Mexico, he made his way to the states in 1965. He's lived all over the country and told me that living in the US has been good to him. He expressed his discontent for Trump and how he's handling the presidency, especially his proposal for "the wall". We both agreed it was a terrible idea and a bad deal for the citizens of the US and Mexico. There's enough division in our society already, it would be wiser to bridge the gap and find a way to enrich the livelihood of people on both sides. It's most benevolent to deal with these complicated social issues with a sense of compassion to bring a peaceful and humane resolution. We helped Arnold out with a bit of money and wished him the best till next time and we were on our way... #skidrobot #artforchange #savehumanity #endhomelessness #dtla#skidrow#losangeles #art#streetart#streetphotography #lastreetart#modernart#urbanart #throne#royalty#design #givingback#actofkindness#raok#artforacause (at Skid Row, Los Angeles)
