DirtyPilot.com Presents LA II (K.Haring's Partner), by dirtypilot on Dec 9, 2011 20:28:20 GMT 1, www.dirtypilot.com/lounge.html
Born in 1967 in New York. L.A. II is the "tag" or alias taken by Angel Ortiz, a young graffiti artist from the Lower East Side of New York City. L.A. stands for "Little Angel." He also occasionally used the tag L.A. Rock or L.A. 2.
When he was 13 or 14 years old, Ortiz was befriended by artist Keith Haring and they collaborated on a number of works from 1978 to 1988. Haring felt Ortiz' "tag" style stood out from that of other New York graffiti writers. It seemed to resemble Asian calligraphy done. Haring and Ortiz began combining their styles to create an overall surface of intermingling lines. Haring said, "All the work [Angel and I did] was about surface and usually covers or transforms the object it is applied to." They covered Day-Glo painted plaster sculptures, real objects, or room-sized installations with a kind of graffiti writing that was a mixture of contemporary and ancient symbols.
Now LA2 is still a young artist, recognizable, with his tag and style, but covered by the greatness of Keith Haring. LA2, from Haring, have visibility and shadows. His market is waiting for new situations, because in effect, LA2 is for Haring the same that Jean-Michel Basquiat was for Andy Warhol. But, fortunatly, He is still in life, and his art adventure is only at the beginning.

DirtyPilot.com Presents LA II (K.Haring's Partner), by Wearology on Dec 10, 2011 9:25:27 GMT 1, Congratulations to LAII and Dirty Pilot. They are going to make a great team together. For those on the forum that don't know about LAII - the man is a legend in the world of street art. LAII has been tagging up the streets of America since the age of 12 back in the early 80's and is best known for his work with the pioneer of the Pop Art movement Mr. Keith Haring. LAII who also goes by the name Angel Ortiz is a pure graffiti artist in every sense of the word. Congratulations again and here's to another 30 years of LAROCK "Keeping It Real"

DirtyPilot.com Presents LA II (K.Haring's Partner), by dirtypilot on Dec 10, 2011 17:27:55 GMT 1, The shopping cart system we partner with uses the quantity drop down as a default. After the one original we have in inventory is sold, it goes to the "Sold Out" Status. Also, the system would not let you add more than one, or purchase more than one, since we only enter one as a quantity on our side. Not the best , but thats what we use for now. Hope that helps!! Please feel free to email us at info@dirtypilot.com with any questions. Peace- Alan

Thank you! I was hoping it was a smaller (and so cheaper) piece. Can't afford it currently but it is a true beauty! Said, I can't believe LAII pieces are still such bargains! Way underrated imo.
