That's Susie Ghahremani, she goes back old school with Giant Robot. We've watched her in school, and she's now out of school and kicking ass. She's transforming the space unlike no other, except maybe Barry McGee did once upon a time. But this is a total different style and she's being much more meticulous. Every detail is all planned out.

I usually don’t care much about street art since it’s always fleeting and it’s more like a hobby for a week especially since the Banksy Effect has taken place with his book being sold at Urban Outfitters. We’re all artists now right? 5 years ago, we were all DJ’s. We all knew this was going to happen. Either way, here’s two pieces that are interesting on Sawtelle. The flower looks great above.
