No Parking for Wednesday Addams

Channeling what Wednesday Addams would look like if she went wondering the modern day streets of LA.

All black, juvenile braids and sassy facial expressions. Little pale, dark-haired, grim Wednesday Addams was my favorite childhood character, who spawned my fascination with writing poetry about death and macabre. With Wednesday as inspiration, I took an edgy approach to the streets of LA and stumbled upon some kick-ass hidden graffiti.

“	Child of woe is wan and delicate...sensitive and on the quiet side, she loves the picnics and outings to the underground caverns...a solemn child, prim in dress and, on the whole, pretty lost...secretive and imaginitive, poetic, seems underprivileged and given to occasional tantrums...has six toes on one foot...	”
	—  Charles Addams

If you follow me on Instagram (@jessicaswu), you know that I'm a bit of a caffeine addict. So being based 20 minutes from LA makes access to Urth Caffe all too easy. I love their variety of  organic lattes and their green tea tiramisu is to die for. Until recently, these graffiti wings were located just outside the Urth Caffe in the Arts District on Hewitt. Much to my dismay, during my last visit, I found that the wings (and all the amazing graffiti art) had been removed.

Personally, I really enjoy seeing graffiti art (emphasis on the art). I feel that it truly embodies and represents the city of its locale. That being said, San Francisco has the best graffiti art by far. Visit the Mission District and see for yourself if you don't believe me (then stop in Philz Coffee for a Mint Mojito Coffee and Tartine for a Hazelnut Tart while you're there)!
