Thrashbird is a talented street artist based in Los Angeles, famously known for his stencils and artworks that he creates on billboards and city walls.

His latest work called, “Valley Of Secret Values,” is a project that was conceived three years ago when he started painting at abandoned places all around the Western Unites States. He said that he found many broken concrete and wood structures with unique and interesting shapes. He came across these giant concrete monoliths at Lime, Oregon and he pictured a Louis Vuitton print handbag in his mind.

And so, the crumbling concrete boulders have been recreated into designer handbags, from Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, to Prada, Givenchy and many more.

“One’s imagination is a playground of boundless adventures. I try to bring those adventures to life,” the artist said.
