Venice Beach.

As a tribute to Rip Cronk, the master muralist of Venice Beach, and his huge walls often painted while hanging many stories in the air—most notably his self-portrait painting “Venice” 5 stories above the boardwalk—Chase painted himself hanging from the side of this building on Hollywood Blvd. in Thai Town. Belgium-born Chase moved to Los Angeles in the 90s, largely drawn by his love of skateboarding, but he continues to do work around the world. He has now completed more than 250 pieces globally and in 2006 Italian Vogue named Chase as one of their favorite street artists along with Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and Space Invader. Wherever you find his quirky paintings they’re usually easy to identify from the signature eyes most often included.  @theartofchase​  @scenesfromthesidewalk

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Rip Cronk’s iconic ‘Morning Shot’ mural in Venice Beach, as well as the 50th anniversary of Jim Morrison’s death. Acrylic paint, 35’ H x 10’ W, restored in 2012.

“Created by artist/muralist Rip Cronk in 1991, this mural of Jim Morrison is made of acrylic paint and is 12 feet wide and 35 feet tall and located on the side of an apartment complex at 1811 Ocean Front Walk in Venice.” There was a makeover in 2012. #venicebeach is where #jimmorrison met #raymanzarek and then they made a little band called #thedoors #venice #california 25mar18 #streetart #street #art #creative #ripcronk #urbanart #instagood #igers #venicebeachstreetart
