WATTO recently went to LA for a photoshoot and swug by Venice Beach. I always enjoy the art that covers the walls, buildings, streets and people. I went a little camera happy and took pics of some my favorites.

Since there are so many pics, I’ve split this into two blog posts. This one focuses on wall murals and graffiti. I’ll post more general art tomorrow.

 Hope you enjoy them.

Skulls are HOT!
Why? Because they have so many meanings to so many different people and cultures.
Though many people associate the skull with death and negative imagery, it actually has a wealth of meanings and symbolisms. The skull can symbolize motality, power  & strength.
