For the 3rd year anniversary of GRAFFITI ART magazine, I was pleased to contribute to the #12 Issue and shared my experience of Los Angeles, from the multiple openings to the Art in the Streets exhibition at the MOCA.

Featuring: street art, painting, illustration, photo, design, graffiti… And artists that find their inspiration in both the city and urban space. 

Here are some pics from the current issue, featuring also an interview with brazilian twins Os Gemeos and more.
