This mural is literally right down the road from where I live. It often changes but its always for Adult swim. Its advertising but its also art!
This mural reminds me of graffiti inspired and sometimes advertising tries to look like graffiti when it really isnt.
For some reason when I was taking the picture of this mural outside of a sandwich shop it make me think of Banksy. Banksy is a really popular street artist and he often uses satire to get his point across. Most recently he was spotted in LA and he hit LA hard. His work was seen all over the city and one that got a lot of attention was a billboard that he altered.
Suprisngly there wasnt a lot of backlash on his work. The original billboard was for a Las Vegas ad. The billboard was taken down a day later but the owners of the billboard were pissed because they said they were honored that Banksy would even choose there billboard and display his work. CBS was the ones who took it down and now they claim to own his art work.
