Elliott Smith Memorial 'Figure 8' Wall

The Elliott Smith mural, located in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, was first featured on the cover of Smith’s album, “Figure 8,”� released in 2000, the last album he would release before his death. After Smith’s apparent suicide in 2003, the “Figure 8″� mural became a memorial to the artist, as fans covered the wall with lyrics and messages and left candles at the base to show their love for a singer-songwriter who revolutionized popular music in the ’90s with a guitar and poetry.
