Dabs & Myla Interview

12:12 PM PDT on May 11, 2011

    We feel very lucky to have you working here in LA. What drew you to this city?
    I guess for the most part it was the weather?

    We came here on vacation about 4 or 5 years ago, and just fell in love
    with The chaos that is Los Angeles....but i think the main reason why we
    first decided to actually move over here was the year round amazing
    weather! It just cant be beaten!

    Do you have a favorite location that you've painted in Los Angeles?
    As for walls that we have painted in LA, i think our favorite spot so far
    would be a wall that we painted just a few weeks ago in Downtown LA with
    the twins How and Nosm from New York.

    The wall was on the side of the Neptune Building near the corner of 3rd
    and Alamada. We painted the spot as part of the LA Freewalls project with
    Jetset Graffiti.

    It was about 5 stories tall and about 120 feet long, It was by far the
    largest we have ever gone, and it felt really good to go so big!!

    What's your favorite taco?
    We really like Machos Tacos in Los Feliz!! They are always on point!

    What are your upcoming show or events or special projects?

    At the moment we are just working on a body of work for our upcoming show at Thinkspace Gallery in culver City.

    The show will be in August, so we are just working full time towards the show for the next 3 months!

    What is the biggest artistic difference between DABS and MYLA?
    Myla is definately more patient, and Dabs is a little more impulsive, which is great because you need to have both!

    How about personality difference?
    I'm not sure there really is any differences any more?
    As the years go by we just become more and more like each other.
    When we first met there was definitely differences between us, but as the
    years have gone by we just keep becoming closer and closer to each other.

    Do you have lucky numbers?
    "29" and "7"
