Two New JR Walls in Downtown Los Angeles

Street Art // Monday, February 21, 2011
We ponder: Does anyone think that Lebron James took time out of his busy All-Star Weekend activities to watch JR put up some massive mural pieces?

Film of 2010, Part 3—JR's Women Are Heroes

Street Art // Friday, December 31, 2010

We haven't seen the full film (yet), but any piece of work that helps you win an award that Bill Clinton and Bono have always received is a big deal. The film gets an official release on January 12, 2011, but 2010 was the year that JR became a superstar. Trailer after the jump . . .
