I Am Los Angeles put together a short video with Mac and Retna giving some insight into the work, motivation and inspiration of the two LA-based artists.

“Wherever they go, they try to make something that makes sense for the neighborhood, and the community. And they always make something positive, something the artists hope people can enjoy — regardless of whether life has greeted them with great fortune. Armed with a vision and their cans of spray paint, El Mac and Retna will transform a forgotten wall into a piece of art.”
