Elliott Smith Mural

Autumn de Wilde's awesome photography of the late Elliott Smith included his cover photo for the album Figure 8 of him standing in front of a mural. Fans still go to this spot on Sunset Blvd. in Silver Lake to write messages on the wall.

I heard a great fan compilation of 54 of his live covers for the first time recently, including some rad Beatles covers. I enjoyed hearing him do all of these songs.

Check out Autumn de Wilde's video for Son of Sam. Great photography, and I really like the red balloon concept and reference.
