"BILL THE BUTCHER"

by Jonas Never

In the mid-19th century "Washington Street Gang" leader William "Bill the Butcher" Poole joined forces with several other groups and formed New York's most infamous street gang, "The Bowery Boys." In 2002 @Daniel.DayLewis received widespread critical acclaim for his heavily fictionalized portrayal of Bill—renamed William Cutting—in Martin Scorsese's epic “Gangs of New York.” Pioneer muralist Jonas Never is one of LA's most prolific street artists but in the middle of a pandemic Never stayed close to his home in Culver City to paint "Bill the Butcher" for his friends at Culver Blvd Irish Pub @AuldFellaLA — a curious irony since Poole was of English descent and the film pits him against rival Five Points Irish gang, the "Dead Rabbits."  @never1959/

LA mural showing LeBron James in Lakers uniform vandalized

Most Lakers fans are hoping LeBron James can help snap a streak of disappointing seasons and bring the franchise another Larry O’Brien Trophy, but there are apparently some folks in Los Angeles who want nothing to do with the four-time NBA MVP.

Not long after LeBron announced that he will sign with the Lakers, an artist in L.A. painted an impressive mural crowning James the new king of the city.

Unfortunately, the mural was vandalized by one or more fans who don’t want see LeBron in a Lakers uniform. The culprit or culprits spray-painted things like “WE DONT WANT YOU” and “3-6,” which is a reference to LeBron’s overall record in the NBA Finals.

Well that didn't last long smh pic.twitter.com/Jjq0rrEM43

If you read what we shared with you about the demand for LeBron’s new jersey, it’s easy to get the impression that most Lakers fans are excited for what the future holds. While it goes without saying that not everyone has to feel that way, ruining an artist’s hard work is completely uncalled for.

FLOYD’S BARBERSHOP, SILVER LAKE

by Never

After 80 years of a drugstore sitting at the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Parkman Ave., in 2015 Sun Lake Drugs could no longer juggle rising rents, lower insurance reimbursements, and competition from the chains. Jonas Never, aka Never1959, has now done murals for something like 15 different Floyd’s 99 Barbershop locations so when Floyd’s took over the drugstore property Never was one of the first to get a call. After researching the music scene of the neighborhood—and having to make some changes to the art midstream—Never arrived at this composition highlighting a variety of artists connected one way or another to Silver Lake, including Jackson Browne, Beck, and Silversun Pickups (the band named after the liquor store diagonally opposite). Featured front and center however is the late-great Elliott Smith who’s “Figure 8” album cover was photographed in front a mural just a mile up Sunset.  @never1959  @floyds99barbershop  @elli0ttsmith
