Corrie Mattie is known for tattoos and murals that support popular causes.
LA Loft Blog staffers are fascinated by the Arts District street art mostly in the form of large murals. We like to include them in our posts about what is happening in the community. The arts district is also known for its industrial lofts and vibrant restaurants Earlier this year local street and tattoo artist Corrie Mattie teamed up with fellow artist Juliano Trindade to create an Arts District mural in support of a Ukraine defense fund. “I was in the middle of doing a mural in Melrose. And then news broke out that Russia invaded Ukraine,” she said.
Have you seen some new murals in the art district share their location here
Mattie likes to say her art gives “access to activism.” A similar mural with a coded call to action celebrates the lifelong work of Betty White for animal welfare. The Be Like Betty mural, created in January, raised almost $20,000 for a local dog rescue. And this piece is no different. At the bottom of the mural, there’s a QR code. You can see a link to that mural on Melrose here. #ArtsDistrictLA #belikebetty

Recently, Corie Mattie, otherwise known as LA Hope Dealer, has been adding QR codes to her eye-catching murals. Open the camera on your phone, focus on the code and it will direct you to a site where you can make a donation or find more information related to the issue depicted in the piece. If you do this while viewing “To Ukraine With Love,” her recent collaboration with artist Juliano Trindade, you might visit the National Bank of Ukraine website.”See the whole story and video in this link
