Paul Lawrence Price,
owner and artist of Walk of Fame Art, originally a native of Louisiana, now a
permanent resident o Los Angeles for the past 20 years states; “Back in
the 80's and 90's I was touring England and the U.S. with the premier Liverpool
rock band, Echo & the Bunnymen. A mutual friend of the band took me out and
did some street design rubbings. Later I returned the favor when we were down
in New Orleans and took him around to the above ground gravesites for some of
our favorite Frottages. After settling in LA, I began producing mostly street
designs from manhole covers, water sewers, etc. Eventually, one day as I was
doing some work on the Walk of Fame, I thought lets try one of these and I did
a Marilyn Monroe star. The next day I brought the artwork directly to the Chamber
of Commerce. Johnny Grant and Micheal Tileman were very receptive and excited
about the quality of the work. They generously put me in contact with the licensing
company for the Walk of Fame.”
A licensing agreement was reached, and now Walk of Fame Art Productions
are available to the World. Investment and distribution available for interested
companies and/or individuals, as well as mail-order inquiries. |
