Echo Park Murals & the Chickens

by Mark Mauer
April 6, 2008 9:23 AM

Love them or hate them, Cache's chicken murals along Sunset Blvd in Echo Park have become quite the landmarks. And considering a lot of the street art in LA can be pretty harsh, it's nice to have the chickens around, even if on this mural they're alongside Eyeone's little masked revolutionaries. They go well together. There'll be several posts of the chicken pieces over the next week.

The artists listed on the mural include Cache, Eyer, Bash, and Noek, and K4P. If I've got any names wrong, you'll let me know right?

It's a huge piece, over 100 feet long, so I'll just post chunks of it below.

WOW it is not that serious it is just alot of people in this world that can do things like. Some people as soon as they hear the word graffiti they think bad have u seen when people do masterpieces it is amazing.The only reason why people dont like kit is because they are so high class that they have classes and big papers to write on and paint on.But when your not rich you cant get stuff like that so you have to work with the things around you. And some people was get paid to write on a store wall by the store owner. I would feel horrible if i seen a great work of art getting painted over with white paint. People only think about there self now a days.
