To celebrate the official legalization of marijuana in California, artist Zach Fernandez—who goes by the moniker Jesushands—made some temporary modifications to the iconic Hollywood sign in Los Angeles.

In the close-up below, you can see how relatively easy it was to change the O’s to E’s. Fernandez pulled off the stunt over New Year’s weekend. It has since been taken down and he will be facing misdemeanour charges.

 

 

This isn’t the first time the sign has been ‘modified’. Betsy Isroelit with the Hollywood Sign Trust told CNN that the last time the sign was vandalized to read “Hollyweed” was in 1976.
