I'm pretty sure this is a real Banksy, it's on the side of the legendary Amoeba Records shop in Hollywood, and when the wall was last painted, they actually painted around this piece.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the first photo ever of BMXers doing an over/under double wall ride. That's Randy Lawrence going opposite up high, and me down below. The wall was long known as the Blues Brothers Wall. It's one of the beach retaining walls below the bike path, across from 14th Street, in Huntington Beach, California. Still from my 1990 self-produced BMX freestyle video, The Ultimate Weekend.
One of my shortest poems, which I scrawled with kids' sidewalk chalk on the sidewalk at the garden party in a Winston-Salem, NC park, celebrating the 90th birthday of Dr. Maya Angelou. "It's one great play, go find your part, someday you'll realize, the world is art."
Another shot of the Blues Brothers wall, with a bit of the Three Stooges painting, also a still from my BMX video. Wall ride over my sister Cheri's head. Huntington Beach 1990.
Wildman graffiti in the Shockhoe Bottom district of Richmond, Virginia. 2019.
Not street art, but art on the streets, drawn by me, a homeless guy living in a tent at the time. Me posing with the Sharpie drawing of Dr. Maya Angelou at the 90th birthday party for her, four years after her death. Winston-Salem, NC, 2018.
