INSA Mural for LA Freewalls

INSA Mural for LA Freewalls

UK artist and designer INSA took to downtown Los Angeles in a spray painting frenzy this month, giving the Artshare building in the heart of the Arts District a much needed facelift. In a collaborative effort with LA Freewalls and Daniel Lahoda of Jet Set Graffiti, who supplied the material and equipment, the idealistic INSA had to raise his own fare for the flight and logistics by selling a dozen paper paintings online. This completed mural pays ode to the free enjoyment of public art, and commemorates the twelve buyers who have made it possible by having their names painted on the final LA wall.

Kidult tweeted out the photo earlier and said: I did some ART?

Take a look at the cleanup after the jump.
