Street Artist: Bumblebee
Article: The Bumblebee Interview; Unurth Street Art
Bumblebee is a popular street artist in Los Angeles. He was first recognized for his bee hives in empty payphone boxes that popped up around Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Bumblebee realized the phone companies were removing the phones, but leaving the boxes stranded, and decided to reconnect them with people once again.
With his work, Bumblebee strives to deliver messages to the people, some of which including the decline in bee colonies and the decline in newspapers. The paint just allows for a fun way to get these ideas out to society.
His next project consists of using abandoned newspaper stands to communicate with the public once again. Each stand will have a page of his book,
"The Story of How Things Came to Bee".
The book will also have a web page where fans can become better connected with the story and can find the actual locations of where to find each new page.
In his interview with Unurth Street Art, Bumblebee stated,
"Street art is often feared and critisized as vandalism, and I believe that through my work I can convince people otherwise."
Street art brings beauty back to places that have lost it.
It's more than grafitti, it's more than just paint, it's
street ART.
