BOOM the boombox character has been appearing on LA’s streets for the past couple of years. Its creator is DUEM, who has been active in the graffiti world since the ’90s. His solo show opened last weekend at Petra Gallerie and drew a huge crowd.
Every month from now through the end of the year we’ll be releasing a sticker collab with various L.A. artists that we love. First, enjoy the bizarre and colorful character, nicknamed “the Jumper”, created by Bjorky. He has a taco on his t-shirt, and LA TACO is hidden in plain sight on the sticker. If you spot this guy in the wild, take a picture and send (via email, twitter, instagram, etc.) it to us, and we’ll send you an L.A. Taco sticker pack!
