Silver Lake and Los Feliz.
The neighborhoods where I spent most of my first two years living in LA. These are the first two paintings of a neighborhood series where each painting is comprised of cropped portions of local signage from the neighborhood. LA has an abundance of beautiful old signage and neon that I adore. The Silver Lake painting is currently hanging inside @heymakisupala so go check it out!
I can’t think of a better venue for people to see this painting than my favorite coffee shop and official hub of my run club. Go grab yourself a Peanut Butter Latte and soak up the vibes. Tell them I sent you. @heymakisupala@silverlaketrackclub

Just finished listening to the latest season of What Had Happened Was with @questlove and @open_mike_eagle and it was incredible. Make sure to give it a listen so you can hear about the making of the first four Roots albums. Nearly ten years ago, I installed these in Philly (along with many others). It seemed like an appropriate time to reshare these @blackthought signs. Much love to Illadelph! All photos of my signs are by @aymanndotcom#therapquotes

Big thanks to @daniellebknyc for letting me know my piece is up in the @brooklynmuseum Spike commissioned this a bunch of years back and I’m honored to learn it’s up for all to see.
