Monday, November 2, 2009 – Cultural Violence

Nearly complete wall painting for a new ninja movie, Melrose Avenue, Monday, November 2, 2009

The Hollywood studios finally figured it out. Hire the very best local graffiti artists to create your wall-sized movie promotions. It's not exactly viral marketing, where you plant fake word-of-mouth, but it is far from the usual cookie-cutter corporate billboards on every corner. Each of these is unique and oddly authentic, even if just transitory commercial art that will been gone soon enough.

The one is down on Melrose Avenue, for a new ninja movie of some sort, and it's almost finished.

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back to this site.

Technical Note:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto.  The high-resolution photography here was modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
