Melbourne
natives Dabs and Myla are a dynamic duo who have lived, worked and soaked in
the sun of Los Angeles since 2009. Dabs started painting graffiti in 1995, and
began teaching Myla the rop
es of writing about ten years later, after they met
while studying illustration in art school and fell in love. Soon afterward,
they decided they liked their collaborative pieces better than their individual
work, and from that point on, they worked together exclusively, as Dabs Myla.
Inspired by graffiti, food, travel and their wonderful chaotic life together as
a couple, their paintings
play Dabs’ mischievous and sometimes ribald
characters off Myla’s photorealistic cityscapes. Since their move to
California, they have never spent more than a few hours apart. They say, “I
guess we are pretty lucky... two peas in a pod! Two crazy, workaholic, mad dorks in a pod! After years of living, painting walls and working
together, we have only become closer, stronger and even more in sync. Every day
we wake up, paint all day, and keep each other entertained with constant
chatter and stupid jokes. Who
could ask for more out of life?”
