Client: Azusa Pacific University

In the spring of 2011, Dereck Seltzer was invited by Dr. James Daichendt, esteemed art historian and author of the critically acclaimed book Stay Up! Los Angeles Street Art, to deliver a guest lecture at Azusa Pacific University in California.

The lecture provided an in-depth exploration of Los Angeles' graffiti and street art scene, highlighting the unique characteristics, triumphs, and challenges faced by its artists.

 Seltzer additionally used spray paint to create a striking bat head mural on the entry wall of the university’s art gallery. This installation served as both a practical example of his technique and a reflection of the themes discussed in the lecture.
