Celebrating the Taco Lifestyle in Los Angeles, CA

L.A. TACO

My name is Shawn Khaine and I&#8217;m a struggling artist surviving day to day on the streets and hotels of Los Angeles. Painting and writing has been my life for the past fifteen years and I paint anything I can find from canvas to concrete, abandoned furniture, and old whiskey bottles. With my monstrous blue van Zombie and the magnificent SPAZ I&#8217;ve traveled across the states collecting pics of street art anywhere I can find it. 
Outsider Industries is my machine where we make ends meet. We work on custom logos, album art, book and magazine art, interior and exterior wall pieces, tattoos, bar mitzvahs, fliers, and posters.
Eventually we want to use Outsider Industries to help promote unknown artists and also host galleries for independent and unknown artists in the United States and eventually gather artists from Mexico, and South America for galleries in the US.
