Live Demo by Renowned Graffiti Artist LA.2 @ Carrotmob Kick-off
Angel Ortiz, the graffiti artist known as LA.2, has been on the scene since the early 80s–when graffiti was still considered a plague on subway walls, but starting to emerge as an sought-after art form. He’s influenced many of the best known graffiti artists like Keith Haring–you know, the guy who did the Crack is Wack sign on the FDR [correction: it's on Harlem River Drive!]–and exhibits of the duo’s work are currently traveling around the world.
LA.2 (stands for Little Angel) is also the artist who will give a live graffiti art demo on Wednesday. You’ll recognize his intricate, mesmerizing designs in the brightest of colors. A Lower East Side legend, we’ll be just a few blocks from many of the walls he tagged decades ago.
The Keith Haring “crack is wack” sign is actually located off the Harlem River Drive, not the FDR.
Oh! Thanks Anon
