It's a good job the Kardashian-West family are in Armenia, because they may have some trouble parking their fleet of Lambos/ Bentleys/ Ferraris/ Mercs. Yesterday 'No Kardashian Parking Anytime' signs were spotted in front of Hollywood hotspots.

These signs were put up in front of their DASH store, around Melrose Avenue and by the A List trap the Ivy on Robertson. Turns out this is the work of LA-based artist Plastic Jesus.

The artist explained the idea to Grazia Daily: "The message behind is really to question and start a dialogue about our obsession with reality TV show celebrities. The project is not intended as a personal criticism of the Kardashians, but more to question how they and similar celebs have become ingrained in culture." Something tells us a couple road signs aren't going to stop the Kardashian-Jenner-West machine.

As for the widespread coverage of his project he said: "I'm completely surprised by the media attention the signs have got. Particularly from the mainstream media and 'serious' news outlets Maybe this underlines my comments about how deep our celebrity obsession is."

The LAPD is reported to see these signs as vandalism, and Plastic Jesus confirmed on Twitter that the signs have been removed. He tweeted: "Yes, sorry the signs were all removed by my crew at 8am this morning. I try not to leave any lasting damage on the streets." He then tweeted: "I hope LAPD see it in the same way."

The LA-based artist said to Grazia that this was only intended as a temporary installation and he has no plans to move it to other locations.
