About
Born & raised in Downey, California (South East Los Angeles)
“In all my work I try to keep the childhood spirit alive. People grow up too fast. In my work I want to help people remember, even if just for a second, what it was like to be a kid again.”
Voted LA’s top street artist in 2015, Bumblebee has completed several high-profile murals and installations with Google, LAUSD, VERVE Talent Agency, Anonymous Content, Santa Monica City, WEHO City and more. Bumblebee has been covered by numerous media outlets including: LA Weekly, Arrested Motion, TEDx Bloomington, Hypebeast, Complex Magazine, VICE Media, Wooster Collective, The Downey Patriot, and mentioned in several podcasts including The Tosh Show, Paint the Town, & Notably Wild.
Bumblebee is known to create for schools, business owners, commercial & private organizations to create one of a kind site-specific murals and installations. Despite the seriousness of his subject matter, his works are not heavy. Instead they are whimsical, playful and exude a sense of childish innocence, freedom and joy.
