From now through August 6, ten special, limited-edition Levi’s x MOCA Trucker Jackets designed by the most dynamic and influential artists from the graffiti and street art community will be released every two weeks in limited-edition quantities. The Levi’s x MOCA Trucker Jackets feature artwork on the back panel created by artists including Keith Haring, Shepard Fairey, Chaz Bojorquez, Kenny Scharf, Lady Pink and KR. Each jacket is packaged in a commemorative box bearing a stamp reminiscent of the artist’s “tag” and will be available for purchase at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (152 North Central Ave). The Levi’s® x MOCA Trucker Jackets retail for $250 and go on sale on the designated day of its release at 11:00 a.m.
“Our Trucker Jacket has been an integral part of the uniform of graffiti and street artists for generations,” said Robert Hanson, Levi’s® Brand Global President. “This collaborative project is a special way to celebrate the Trucker Jacket’s intrinsic tie to the street art community and culture, as well as MOCA’s longstanding leadership in the art world.”
The collection serves as a retrospective of the history of street art – the jackets will be launched in chronological order of each artist’s work, with an homage to the late, great Keith Haring as the final release. Following is the release date schedule:

I saw his mural near my work and immediately thought of Illustrator Kyle Kesterson who has a similar and really crazy doodle style called “intricadoodle” – http://iamintricate.squarespace.com/journal/2010/4/5/intricadoodle-crazy.html
