Jordan Sowunmi — May 20, 2011 — Art & Design
Street artists Cope2 and Mr. Brainwash have teamed up to create the 'Never Never Give Up' mural in the La Brea section of Los Angeles.
Cope2 and Mr. Brainwash are both highly respected and critically adored street artists. Cope2 has been involved in street art for over 20 years, but only began receiving international attention in the mid=90's. His work has appeared in ad campaigns for Adidas and Converse, and also Time Magazine. Mr. Brainwash may be familiar to the casual street art fan who watched Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop last year.
The 'Never Never Give Up' mural features a young kid helping lift another as he finishes a tag on the wall. Click through our gallery for a good look at the creation of 'Never Never Give Up' mural, and visit Cope2's website for more information on the collaboration.
