David Flores
Native Californian David Flores got his start as an illustrator for Shorty’s ads in skateboard magazines. Now you can see his geometric murals of familiar cultural icons that employ a “stained glass” look everywhere. There’s his Calvin and Hobbes homage outside of Uprising Creative’s office in Silver Lake and his Johnny Cash tribute at the Viper Room. Most recently, we’ve seen him put up his gorgeous John Lennon-inspired “Imagine” emblazoned across DAS Shop in Venice (see above) and Japanese-inspired dragon floating across the walls of Tatsu Ramen in Hollywood.
