Our Supermodel mural must come down by Monday July 14th. This news has come as a surprise and disappointment to me and everyone else that collaborated on making this project happen. This mural was our contribution to the city of Los Angeles - our kiss of color to the city we love. The permits that we were told were approved, have retroactively been denied due to a number of issues involving the building and the city. Therefore, we wanted to let you know that it will be there for the next few days in case you haven’t seen it and want a chance to visit before it comes down. 
 
Thank you for all your support. The show that we played in January under the mural was a landmark for me and my personal relationship with this city. Never did I think I would be involved in creating an art piece of this scale and magnitude. We feel truly honored to have been able to share it with you over the last year. Art brings to life things that can seemingly be dead, and can put a fresh perspective on things that are living. It’s so important we keep creating. 
 
Soon a space that used to have art on it will be blank. We won’t be able to fill that exact space, but if we are conscious of what we are losing, we can be conscious of creating something in its place and continue to keep the creative world in balance. 
 
Lastly, we are going to be filming the painting over of the mural. We will have a camera documenting YOUR THOUGHTS on July 14th from 8am to 7pm at the site of the mural and would love to speak with you about art, your history with Los Angeles, music, community, and anything else that you might have on your heart. 

Sincerely,

Mark Foster
