Seen: Dabs Myla & How and Nosm — ‘Cream of the Crop’


1_DSC_7395

Dabs Myla & How and Nosm have almost completed ‘Cream of the Crop’ — a massive mural on 3rd and Traction in Downtown LA, produced by Daniel Lahoda’s LA Freewalls Project.  Generating plenty of buzz, the wall features a split-open Mickey by How and Nosm with their signature must-be-seen to be believed intricate style and Dabs Myla’s larger-than-life cute yet mischievous characters.

While we’ve included a large number of detail shots of How and Nosm’s contribution, the continuous play of scale and images-within-images in their work demand in-person viewing to take it all in.  The German twins’ work rewards multiple viewings as each square foot is packed with detail and elements from multiple storylines.   With serious skills and amazing work ethic, How & Nosm are set for big things in the coming year with at least two solos in LA and a potentially high-profile show on the East Coast.

With MOCA’s ‘Art in the Streets’  mega-show on everyone’s mind, this piece offers a small yet powerful reminder of what’s been lost along the way — check the detail shots (after the jump).
