Retna in Mexico , by Charlie Bronson on Oct 7, 2020 0:18:40 GMT 1, Seems that he’s down in Mexico putting out a bunch of work. Love what I’m seeing from him. Sure most of it’s the same calligraphy, but it feels like a fresh take on it.

Retna in Mexico , by mikegood on Oct 7, 2020 1:42:39 GMT 1, Been hearing crazy stories about Retna and him getting chased out of LA and Miami?? lol... he posted some wild screen shots on IG... regardless, the new work is very very dope.. He seems to be in the zone rn. Let's hope he stays there and away from the drama. I'd love to see a more affordable print run from him.

It’s an alphabet that he made up. Each piece says something, with each symbol representing a letter or number. I don’t know what letter/number each symbol is but I have compared titles of different pieces and the symbols are consistent with specific letters/numbers.
Edit-If you don’t already, you should follow him on IG. In addition to the cool art, his posts are entertaining to say the least. Always beefing with or calling out someone, often justifiably so.

thats cool! i guess those familiar can tell they are not repetitive.
i wonder if each particular piece means something and that he divulges
them to the owner?

Yep. He always titles the pieces whenever he posts pics etc. At the very least some cryptic saying or title in the caption.

Not really sure if he’s repped by one.

Retna in Mexico , by sleazus1slord on Oct 7, 2020 13:30:05 GMT 1, Attended the first Retna/El Mac show in '05 at a clothing store/gallery in Costa Mesa. Crazy to see how far the scene has progressed (and regressed) in 15 years.

some of his oldest graff pieces got buffed in the last month or two, but i don't think it was done by the city, that piece with revok and dame on 7th and santa fe that had easily been there a decade got painted over, but it was only his piece that got painted over. they later redid the entire thing a week or two later but at first only his piece got buffed. same thing on Beverly, the piece with the frida character got buffed, but only his piece. that one also was around for about a decade.
