POSEIDON MURAL

Sometimes a good creative project lands on your lap and the client happens to be just as cool as the project itself. This was one of these scenarios. Immediately it became apparent that POSEIDON was going to be the subject of the mural. Watch this short video and see how it all came together!

ORIOL...NEW MURAL IN ECHO PARK

I've just recently completed my newest mural under my self funded mural campaign; #FacesLA. For this mural, I chose to do a portrait of my friend and fellow artist Mr. Eriberto Oriol on the side of an often tagged wall in Echo Park, just off Sunset Blvd. Eriberto is not only a talented photographer but an incredible artist and one of the first to curate a graffiti show in Los Angeles. He is one of LA's very own that we should all know about. I'm honored that he allowed me to give him props through this mural.
