Arts District - Show Us Your California

Hi friends,

This post is an entry into the weekly Show Us Your California contest, hosted by @socalsteemit where we share something about my California.

I spent an evening in the Arts District in downtown Los Angeles the other day and it has changed a lot. I guess art is changing as well, but the area has been gentrified a bit, and had a lot of high end apartments and cars driving around. The homeless were not as present as I would have thought as well.

One feature of the area is large murals and sculptures throughout the Arts District. I found this one interesting, and the picture does not do it justice as the size was about two stories tall:

A bit graphic, but the US sending Putin’s head to Ukraine fits the edgy-ness of the area. Here is a pic of the Honey headquarters in a historic Coca-Cola building right off an old railway:

I met some crypto/NFT companions at a local brewery, and got to hear about some of the interesting things in the space. One that I had never heard of was AR Art - basically the NFT art also has an augmented reality feature so that when you look at it on your phone, it comes to life and enhances the art. Interesting!

Thanks for coming by and seeing a little part of my California.
