Much like the guy who whips his dong out at the end of Teen Wolf, Los Angeles's M-BW is someone who can’t be missed. Utilizing large sheets of poster paper, M-BW wheat pastes stenciled images of famous people from around the globe in the heart of Hollyweird; providing us with what we all want……Super Star Sightings!
At first, I wasn’t the biggest fan of M-BW. Their 2-D stencils of starlets seemed a little trite and, overall, somewhat uninteresting. But then, I came to realize how prolific this person is. I mean everywhere you look, especially on Melrose, you can most likely find one of M-BW’s pieces staring back at you through their Bans. M-BW takes the notion of star sightings one-step further; for every five or so celebs, is a stencil of a cloaked man with a long lens camera waiting for his chance to snap a pic of some famous personality. Through their wheatpastes, M-BW completes the cycle between super celeb and paparazzi, how PO MO.
It is with this that I say “Thanks M-BW” for without you, droves of tourists on their double decker tour buses would leave Hollywood feeling empty, having not seen Harry Dean Stanton or even Michael J. Fox;).
Location: Northside of street near the intersection of Gardner and Melrose, Hollywood, 90036
