In Mexico the car is a “sacred being” as formerly were some animals and plants; the difference is obvious. Today, in Mexico, there is a kind of paranoid obsession with the production, sale and purchase of one of these things with four wheels, giving the car the same attributes as a pet and let’s say even survive humans. The car has the preference, with respect to pedestrians, but goes beyond that … in many cases serves to create disputes and differences of social rank.

The website for the artist/ museum/ brand/ magazine collaboration I posted about recently is going live today, including behind the scenes images of the creation of walls in LA.

This huge wall (a peace elephant and dove) is the largest Shepard Fairey has ever done - 70ft X 106ft; it took 6 days to complete during July. It's going to be featured in the November issue of Vanity Fair, and at the artinthestreets website.
