Los Angeles – 2025
Bonfire Ventures reached out to collaborate on an afterparty event, looking to create a memorable experience for their team. They wanted to incorporate graffiti-style elements as a tribute to the art culture of their hometown, Los Angeles.

The piece was painted live, in front of guests, over the course of the evening — the afterparty for the Upfront Summit, on a Los Angeles rooftop.
Live Painting as the Centerpiece
Live painting changes what a mural is for. Instead of arriving finished, the work builds over a few hours while guests watch, ask questions, and photograph the progress. The process becomes the entertainment, and the finished panel becomes the reason people stayed.
For Bonfire Ventures the brief was a tribute to Los Angeles graffiti culture, matched to a venture audience gathered after the Upfront Summit. A second interactive wall with markers let attendees leave their own marks through the night, so the artwork finished the event as a shared object rather than a backdrop.
