COUPLE OF INDIANS ON WINSTON...BUFFED!!
Me and Vyal created this new piece last week on the corner of Los Angeles St and Winston in DTLA.
The piece attracted a lot of positive attention in the Skid Row area and even business owners noticed a slight increase in sales the week that it was up.
Somehow, mysteriously, as of August 7th, the mural has been buffed, erased, GONE!
The only witness to the buffing was a security guard at the Jeffries across the street. He said it looked like a city crew but the Downtown BID and the Office of Community Beautification graffiti abatement crews have all gone on record saying they were not involved.
If anyone has any information as to who might have done this please let us know.
Anyhow, enjoy the pictures of what once was...
A street artists reaction to the buffing of the wall....
More pics..
stay tuned for the next episode..
