Apocalyptic street art almost comes true in LA

London street artist Jim Vision recently headed over to LA's Melrose district to hook up with renowned skate shop Brooklyn Project and create a new piece for their back wall. But it was something that unfortunately took on reality with the recent flood warnings and torrential rain, as the artwork featured ships and surfers battling the waves amidst an apocalyptic storm.

The huge back wall of the shop was painted over two days and completed solely by Jim. Of course, Jim is part of the famous End of the Line art collective. You can find out more via their website: www.endoftheline.co.
