Colourful Photography ~ Bleeding Hearts Love Wall

In Eagle Rock for a #socalsteemit meet-up last weekend, I was lucky enough to see this Bleeding Hearts Love Wall street art mural painted by JGoldcrown across the street from the pizzeria we met at. Apparently these murals can be found in quite a few places in New York and Los Angeles.

'Bleeding hearts’ kind of started as a mistake. I was aware I was doing it, but at the same time, I wasn’t doing it for anyone. I was actually testing the pressure of spray cans because I mixed spray paint with my multimedia and fashion photography work. To get the right pressure from the cans, I sprayed hearts on this door in my studio. Eventually, the door was full of hearts. When a client came in to pick up a piece I made for him, he ended up buying the door as well—he loved the hearts. Soon after I went to Art Basel and showed a wide spectrum of my projects. Two of them were bleeding hearts and they sold immediately. It ended up being a sell-out show, but I realized that what the people were ordering were the bleeding hearts.
