In 2015, DabsMyla transformed a 4,000-square-foot Spanish revival-style building in Los Angeles into the installation "Before and Further" in collaboration with Modernica, the American Modernism furniture brand. [8]
In early 2016, DabsMyla painted colorful murals covering the outside of Bob Baker’s Marionette Theater [9] in Little Manilla. [10]
Three blocks of DabsMyla's pop-up artwork decorated the Santa Monica Promenade with a "whimsical cast" of holiday characters and interactive installations in December 2017. [11]
In the summer of 2018, DabsMyla's indoor floral installation, covering a wall with 3,000 paper flowers and a trio of paintings, was featured in Beyond the Streets. [12]
Later in 2018, their "Things That Can't Be Seen" exhibition transformed the former Taschen Gallery in Beverly Grove with a mural on the outside and large-scale original paintings and installations inside.
