The Kobe and Gianna Bryant mural in downtown L.A. — simply restored final week following earlier vandalism — has been defaced once more … and now the artist tells TMZ Sports activities he is doubtless going to maneuver the paintings to a brand new location.
The mural, situated (at the very least in the meanwhile) on the facet of a constructing at 14th and Essential in DTLA, was focused by vandals on Tuesday night … and now we have video of the aftermath, displaying white spray paint scribbled throughout the paintings.
The harm comes simply 4 days after the artist, Sloe Motions, mounted his mural after an earlier incident of vandalism … the obvious results of a feud between rival road artists.
Luka Doncic — traded to the Lakers in February — helped pay for the restoration by donating $5k to Sloe Motions’ fundraiser, for which the artist was very grateful.
“Fully restored Kobe and Gigi mural with graffiti protection all thanks to Luka Doncic and everyone who donated to the GoFundMe,” Sloe Motions mentioned final week.
“It’s great how a bad situation can bring so many people together to bring something back greater. There were so many people that had showed up to help out and it was highly appreciated.”
“I really felt the LOS ANGELES love on this one.”
Sadly, now that it is occurred once more, Sloe Motions says he is in search of a brand new spot to color the mural.
He hasn’t but determined the place it’s going to go.
Sloe Motions is only one of numerous murals that had been put up in Los Angeles — and world wide — in tribute to Kobe and Gigi after their tragic deaths.
