BITNB artist, Keren Richter, recently teamed up with Nick Cope, expert in design/build, to complete an installation mural at the Opening Ceremony store in Los Angeles.  Keren, an illustrator/designer, says the pair worked from 7:00pm to 4:00am for a week straight to complete their project.  The mural is comprised of a pattern of blocks which Keren states, represent “abstracted city-scapes, which grow and tumble playfully along two opposing fifty foot walls.”

Make sure you go check out the permanent installation at the Opening Ceremony boutique in LA!
