There are two stories one labels UCLA and the other USC, referencing two cross-town rivals universities in Los Angeles, California the University of California at Los Angeles Bruins and the University of Southern California Trojans. It also comes with a matching mini armchair.
The material used is recycled classified automotive ads newspaper and it was handmade in California, USA. This an original, one-of-a-kind piece that would make a great addition to any collection.
The bottom of the piece is signed with a doodle, the name of the artist Germ, and a date. We've found one Los Angeles based artist who goes by "Germs" but don't know if that is the same artist. Whoever the artist is, the design and craftsmanship are impeccable.
