STREET SIGNS - Boy Bomb



L.A. street artist Dog Byte was once a musician, car salesman and graphic artist, but most Angelenos know him from his clever, thought-provoking pieces like Nowhere Tanks, Ducking the Truth and Jackstonaut, which features Jack Nicholson in an astronaut helmet. His most recognizable image, however, is Boy Bomb, with a young boy astride the explosive weapon. This particular version of the image sits on the Wild Style building at 7703 Melrose Avenue (at Spaulding Avenue) in the Melrose and Fairfax District.

Abrams.
