I just finished this body of work last week, it's hot off the press.  These are some of the only unsold originals from the past 16 years.  The largest piece, "On the Other Side"  I started 14 years ago in my studio in Chelsea in NYC.  

Paxton has sold my work for the past 5 years, you can find all of my prints for sale in their main store.

Lela's Work featured in Juxtapoz Magazine

Lela's work was recently featured in the Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine - a magazine created in 1994 by a group of artists and collectors to both help define and celebrate urban alternative and underground contemporary art. Juxtapoz launched with the mission of connecting modern genres like psychedelic and hot rod art, graffiti, street art, and illustration, to the context of broader more historically recognized genres of art like Pop, assemblage, old master painting, and conceptual art. Although based in San Francisco, Juxtapoz was founded upon the belief in the virtues of Southern California pop culture and the freedom from the conventions of the "established" New York art world. 

As of 2009, Juxtapoz had the largest circulation of any art magazine in the United States, more than established counterparts like Art News, Art in America, and ArtForum. In addition to printed subscriptions which offer alternative cover images to the newsstand version, Juxtapoz is also available as an online digital subscription. Juxtapoz is published by High Speed Productions, in San Francisco, California.
