This poster is pasted to an electrical box in Echo Park, a neighborhood just north of downtown Los Angeles, and reflects the city's multicultural melange. 

While LA has one of the largest populations of Iranians outside of Iran in the world, the comment scrawled on the bottom of the poster, 'Viva La Revolucion,' reflects the large Spanish-speaking community in this hipster, gentrifying part of town. USA, LA, 12/05/2009

<b>Update</b>: The poster is part of a series of 'Pretty Revolutionary' prints by Los Angeles printer Karen Fiorito in collaboration with Monet Clark.  The other two prints in the series can be found at buddhacatpress.blogspot.com.  Iranalliance also has various streetart Twitpics up of the posters including a cool shot of a Pretty Revolutionary print next to a print of Mossadegh, the Iranian prime minister the CIA overthrew in the 1950s. 

Iranian streetart was on display earlier this fall in an exhibit at Crewest gallery in downtown L.A.  called <a href= 'http://crewest.com/exhibits/2009/streets_iran09.html'> 'From the Streets of Iran.' </a>
