PURPLE HAZE by Gary Simmons

Fuck yes! If you’re driving down La Brea the Undefeated billboard is impossible to miss - this is the 23rd original work created for the store, with previous pieces created by famous street and gallery artists including Raymond Pettibon, KAWS, Barry McGee, Dennis Hopper, Terry Richardson, Kenneth Anger, Jose Parla, and more. Each piece so far has been amazing and it’s impossible to choose a favorite, but this is on the top of the list. Gary is my friend and mentor - he changed the way I thought about art as an object and art as it relates to my own life, to a great extant I wouldn’t be an artist today without his influence.
