"No Kardashian Parking" sign by artist Plastic Jesus in Los Angeles, Calif. Plastic Jesus by [Amanda Michelle Steiner / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Amanda Michelle Steiner / People Contributor Apr 8, 2015 5:37 PM UTC If your last name is Kardashian, finding a parking spot in Hollywood just became that much more difficult. A number of “No Kardashian Parking” signs have popped up around the city – including in front of Dash, the clothing boutique owned by [Kim](http://www.people.com/people/kim%5Fkardashian) and her sisters – and artist Plastic Jesus is responsible. Known to many as the Banksy of L.A., the artist told [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/no-kardashian-parking-signs-crop-787106)that the signs are a statement on America’s obsession with celebrity. “‘Stop Making Stupid People Famous’ often gets blogged as a criticism of the Kardashians,” Plastic Jesus told _THR_. “But that piece is also meant to criticize us as consumers. Without us, there would be no market for the Kardashians. We are equally, if not more so, to blame.” A spokesperson for the LAPD told the magazine that “no complaints have yet been filed about the signs, but insisted it’s a pretty clear case of vandalism, regardless of the artistic intent.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/no-kardashian-parking-plastic-jesus-art-installation-hollywood) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3813973/no-kardashian-parking-signs/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3813973/no-kardashian-parking-signs/"},"headline":"These 'No Kardashian Parking' Signs Are Taking Over Hollywood","datePublished":"2015-04-08T17:37:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:18:30.814Z","description":"Hope your last name is not Kardashian","url":"https://time.com/3813973/no-kardashian-parking-signs/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Hollywood","Kardashians"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta1fdd4760eefb531/6987ea2ce53abade7e4db35d/pj-no-kardashain-parking-signs-11.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Amanda Michelle Steiner / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta1fdd4760eefb531/6987ea2ce53abade7e4db35d/pj-no-kardashain-parking-signs-11.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"No Kardashian Parking\" sign by artist Plastic Jesus in Los Angeles, Calif.","caption":"\"No Kardashian Parking\" sign by artist Plastic Jesus in Los Angeles, Calif.","creditText":"Plastic Jesus","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3813973/no-kardashian-parking-signs/","name":"These 'No Kardashian Parking' Signs Are Taking Over Hollywood"}}]}] ```
