It's Not About Pretty

Photos: Ian Logan I have been mesmerized by this art instillation that Vincent Lamouroux did here in Los Angeles. He took the old Sunset Motel (also known as The Bates Motel), used an Eco-friendly whitewash to coat the entire structure, billboards, signs, and palm trees around it, taking a seedy, run down hotel and making it into something beautiful. The Eco-friendly paint will fade away naturally and eventually the motel will be razed to make way for new development, but until then we get to enjoy it’s beauty and simplicity. It just seemed like a perfect spot for some skate shots – especially since it was a great excuse to skate down Sunset Blvd at 6 AM without much traffic. Yeah, that kind of made my day.
