MCA Memorial Billboard by Haze

New York City-based artist and designer Eric Haze headed west to Los Angeles as part of the continued outpouring of condolences and visual homages for Adam Yauch – perhaps better known by his emcee moniker MCA. Located on Santa Monica and Vine, the billboard dubbed “NAMASTE’” is simple and direct – capturing Yauch’s spiritual nature as well as pointing out a life that was cut way too short. In Haze’s own words, “I was grateful to be given such a public forum to properly celebrate the life of my friend and collaborator Adam Yauch, and hope that these memorials will reverberate among the community that continues to mourn his passing.”
