Over an aging Roa piece that was starting to fade—and possibly having something to do with Roa’s mural of a skunk sitting in the parking lot of a (now gone) perfume wholesaler—James Haunt and his friend ZES MSK collaborated on this updated work in 2013. For HavocTV Haunt explained his 5-step process for creating his trademark central figure: creating an initial sketch, applying a grid to the wall, recreating the sketch on the wall, painting in fills, and adding final details. LA Weekly says Zes, or Zeser, was one of LA’s most prolific taggers and for years he battled the idea of producing mainstream gallery art. As he made that transition however, his mentor Saber says ”Zes has pushed boundaries and limits that will never be matched.” LA Weekly also reports that within his work, typically created with paint rollers of various sizes, are often hidden letterforms.  @jameshaunt  @zesmsk  

She looked at today's eclipse for too long - her sunglasses started melting 😂. Seriously though, this is my favorite mural in Palm Springs. I always keep an eye out for it when I am rolling into town. Mural by the super talented: @jameshaunt 🎨
