I’m thrilled to introduce a brand-new series: Studio DIY Wall Crawl. We’ve been planning this for a long time because one of the most common questions we get is, “Where is that wall?” We photograph in front of so many vibrant walls across Los Angeles, and now we’re expanding beyond our hometown. We’re partnering with favorite Instagrammers and local creatives to map the best mural and wall locations in cities across the country — and eventually the world.
Artist Kate from Striped Cat Studio illustrated the map, and we’ve included a Google Map at the bottom so you can find each spot easily. There are so many walls to discover, so let’s kick things off in Los Angeles.
