L.A. Graffiti Artist Humanizes Homeless People By Painting Their Dreams

Skid Robot is an anonymous street artist in Los Angeles who uses his medium to draw attention to the homeless - a population he laments is so often overlooked.

Skid Robot humanizes the homeless by incorporating them into his art, creating scenes in which the subjects aren't just a faceless person, down on their luck. Instead, he highlights their struggle by juxtaposing them with spray painted versions of their needs, wants and dreams.

Backstories are often explained in the captions he provides on Instagram which give the viewer more of a feel for the person.
