California Dreamin’- Venice Boardwalk Art

Walking down the boardwalk in Venice Beach is like a feast for your eyes. Lots of weird people to watch, lots of random music every few yards, basketball courts, bikers, the outdoor gym, and lots of art. Yes, art!

Here’s a particular favorite from yesterday:

Obsessed with this- I wanted to take it home, but would need to get rid of some stuff to make wall space (and you all know by now what a hoarder I am.) At only $225, it seems like a steal to me! — Obsessed with this- it is the epitome of California cool. I wanted to take it home, but would need to get rid of some stuff to make wall space (and you all know by now what a hoarder I am.) At only $225, it is a steal for original artwork!

I’ve seen this guy painting out on the boardwalk multiple times. He paints all kinds of things with all kinds of images. Yesterday he was working on a motorcycle on another piece from this shipping crate. I’ve seen him with pallets, old beds, shipping crates, even a set of shelves from an old apartment getting remodeled down the street. How’s he find all this good stuff? People tell him when they see something or bring it by. Talk about a rehabber!
