L.A.'s Love Bandit


Out in the West San Fernando Valley (maybe other places, leave a comment if this tagger is in your area as well). There is a tagger that I have dubbed the "Love Bandit". His/Her work is not very artistic. I guess that is not the point. To be honest, I don't know what the point is. Is there one? Could it me just a tagger in love that wants to tell the world? Or is it a person who wishes to remind us of Love? Whatever the case may be, the word Love, and sometimes just simple hearts have sprung up in the west on Ventura Blvd.
It is also interesting to note in these photos the persistence of L.A.'s famous "Grey Ghost". The Grey Ghost is a tagger or anti-tagger-tagger, who goes around with a bucket of grey paint, and paints over tagging. I personally feel his grey paint is uglier then the tagging, but whatever floats his boat...
At the time of writing, the new "love Bandit" tags have stopped. I do not know if the Love Bandit has moved to a different are, or given up on Love. Either way, they will be missed. Because after all... All You Need is Love.
