Saber and I have been friends for over 10 years and previously collaborated on the Brooklyn Projects wall on Sunset in Echo Park. We also both recently coincidentally made art inspired by the American flag. When Barracuda on Melrose asked me to revamp my mural there, I thought of Saber as a collaborator right away. The wall fit the proportions of a diptych perfectly and I think the two flag interpretations compliment each other nicely. I’m psyched to share another wall with Saber.  Thanks to Todd Mazer for being on site to photograph the mural’s creation.
