I Love LA, I Hate LA... You Decide With David Buckingham Art

100608la-01.jpgWe imagine Josh Groban loves Los Angeles most of the time. A Lincoln Town Car toting you off to the Hollywood Bowl to perform for thousands has its advantages. But for those of you who sometimes have a love/hate relationship with LA you'll find this flirty art in Groban's pad perfect. More after the jump.

You get to decide if you are loving LA or hating LA by moving the check mark to the appropriate box--love it! We always thinks it's neat when art actively involves the viewer. Apparently the art is made by Los Angeles artist, David Buckingham. We headed over to his website and were happy to find out that Buckingham travels off the beaten path and collects forgotten materials. His website tells us that his art includes wheelbarrows, tool boxes, road signs, tractor parts, car doors, gas cans, etc. While David incorporates green practices with his art, you won't find him going out and buying green paint or any color for that matter. David's website says it best, "All colors are original as found; David Buckingham is no painter."

Great art! And you AT writers managed to crack me up again with "We always thinks it's neat when art actively involves the viewer."
