Artist Spotlight

Dante Orpilla isn’t quick to call himself an artist.

In his words, “that title is defined by time and the audience that float long after its creator is [gone].” He will say that art has been his survival, his therapy, and his way of connecting with the city he calls home. Dante learned to paint in prison, starting with nothing more than coffee and Kool-Aid. Those early experiments evolved into spray paint, brushes, and a style he now describes simply as “dirty.” For him, the process always begins the same way: make a mess, then pull beauty from it.

Miguel “Miggy” Perez, known in the art world as Bounce, is a tattooer and muralist whose work bridges street culture, family heritage, and community storytelling. Taught early by his parents and uncles to draw, shade, and letter in Chicano-inspired styles, Miggy’s art celebrates identity through bold lines and meaningful narratives. As a member of the Trust Your Struggle collective, he’s created large-scale murals that honor underrepresented voices while using tattooing as a more intimate form of connection, giving permanence to personal stories. His work for LAGC reflects the same ethos found across LA: where art, culture, and community meet, and every wall tells a story of resilience and pride.

Los Angeles is a canvas of perspectives unlike anywhere else in the world. No matter how different your outlook, you’ll always find someone here who sees it too. That diversity is what makes creating in LA feel different. When it came to painting the LAGC schedule on a van, Orpilla approached it with the same philosophy — mess, then beauty. He found joy in the simple things, like being able to capture the likeness of a player with just three or four brushstrokes.

Above all else, Orpilla wants Los Angelenos to feel included when they see the van roll by. He wants them to feel like they’re a part of something bigger, a part of what’s happening in this city.

Why are we doing this?

We could’ve just posted the schedule online, but that’s not the LA way.

Instead, we asked local artists to paint it on a van, and we’re sending it out into the city. Why? Because Los Angeles is built on creativity and those who do things differently. LAGC is committed to working with and for our community to rally this city around the team. The entire campaign was wrapped around the concept of our community banding together - from a concocted scheme of someone tagging the Dryvebox, we hosted a hotline fans could call to report the sighting - of which the voicemail was a live reading of the Season 2 schedule.

The campaign concluded with us revealing the artwork as intentional, showcasing the beautiful work proudly with the season 2 schedule for our fans all around LA.

LAGC Creates a Tour of LA with the Artwork

For us, community isn’t a side project — it’s the foundation. So when it came time to launch Season 2, we didn’t just want to announce it. We wanted to paint it, move it, and bring it to life across the city.

That’s where our Dryvebox came in — and why we turned it into a canvas. The mural that wraps our mobile simulator isn’t just artwork, it’s a reflection of LA: the movement, the energy, the mix of stories that make this city what it is.

Across the week announcing the schedule, the LAGC Dryvebox Tour hit some of LA’s most iconic spots — LACMA, MNML Golf, Roosevelt Golf Course, Newport Coast, Santa Monica Pier, and more — each stop a new moment to connect with fans and celebrate the city that built us. We had custom graphic T-shirts made which displayed all our guys along with the graphic of Season 2. Throughout the tour, we gave 26 shirts away to kickoff the 2026 season. Fans were encouraged to come and find us, post up with the Dryvebox and grab their free tee.

From the streets to the greens, we’re putting creativity in motion and giving LA something that feels like home.
