Thanks for the sentiment... Hippie [Los Angeles (90048), CA]
Yeah - thanks, man. Some of us can't ride our granola-powered bicycles to work over the hills...
I listened to a podcast of a Werner Herzog interview and enjoyed it - thanks for asking.
[We've gone south of North of East Of West L.A. for this post.]

Valvoline Man [North Hollywood, CA]
Nothing attracts the customer's eye like a blobby blow-up thing!

Wells Fargo - Relief [Northridge, CA]
It's not the empty parking lot one should be checking out -
it's the busy thoroughfare to his left...

Contemplative Muncher [Hollywood Hills, CA]
Through a time portal from 1966 comes this fellow - contemplating traffic and munching on something from a nondescript paper bag.

Sky Above Clouds IV above Popeye's [Canoga Park, CA]
You've tried real hard not to find yourself pumping gas in Canoga Park - but there you are at Roscoe Blvd & De Soto Ave...
You might be eyeing the Popeye's across the street thinking of chicken - and then - EUREKA! You spot an interesting billboard that isn't trying to sell you anything...
...it's Sky Above Clouds IV by Georgia O'Keeffe - #51 in the Art Everywhere US campaign! Maybe you'll realize that the mind must be fed as well as the stomach.

Green River Cliffs in Chatsworth [Chatsworth, CA]
Upon parking in the Olive Garden (or perhaps you prefer Mimis Cafe) parking lot...
...one may perhaps notice a billboard displaying...
...a detail from Thomas Moran's Green River Cliffs, Wyoming painting...
...it's #11 in the Art Everywhere US campaign to get American art out in the public where the public might see it. Deep in the North-West San Fernando Valley - I wonder how many people will notice and take the time to investigate further?...

Nighthawks on Ventura [Studio City, CA]
You're driving east on Ventura Boulevard and a billboard catches your eye. You think - crap, another artwork used as advertisement...
...it's Edward Hopper's Nighthawks...
...and it's there pretty much for the hell of it - not selling anything but American Art to the American people through an umbrella organization Art Everywhere...
Unfortunate that there's a damn palm tree right in front of it.

Jay Lenno's Bugati [Burbank, CA]
Popping in for a quick purchase from Autobooks-Aerobooks is no problem - with ample parking aside the very red curb - for the King of Burbank, Jay Lenno...
...it is a fabulous machine and we did turn around just to photograph it. On his way out, Mr. Lenno was quite pleasant to the admirers - so he gets a pass.

Arnie's Cafe & Bakery [Sherman Oaks, CA]
It seemed like a great idea and Arnie's Cafe & Bakery got good reviews...
... with the SFVDM Prop D Collective a few doors down, a clever worded tie-in was a brilliant stroke of genius...
...yet, we can't help but wonder, if two months later, someone cooking got distracted and forgot to turn off the cooking range before locking up for the night...

Mellow By Balboa Lake [Encino, CA]
Guitar - on bench by lake - you pedaled there!
Some would call you a dirty hippie.
Yet you wear no bellbottoms and have no flowers in your hair.
