    The Do LaB - An Otherworldly Art Collective

    If the Do LaB prove anything, it's that creativity can pay--and explosive creativity at that.  The radical art collective, based in downtown Los Angeles, have inspired the minds of thousands across the globe through their otherworldly creations, and have racked up a number of high-profile clients in the process.

    Since making their work known through the Burning Man Festival, Do LaB has also created wondrous art experiments for major corporations like Red Bull, Lexus, Ford, American Idol, Coachella Music and Arts Fest, and E! Entertainment just to name a few.  The reason for that?  The collective has made it known that they are only ones capable of such extraordinary visions.

    The above is a shot taken from the group's most recent event, "Lightning in A Bottle," a festival that took place in Santa Barbara, CA this past May.  Plant life is a common theme in Do LaB's work, but the epic sizes, aesthetic sense, and functionality of it is what really makes it unique.  Part of the experience of their work is watching it seemingly come to life.  Some of these larger than life flowers they create actually move and appear to grow, and according to one source, are capable of even more.  Jessica Kelly of WeEarth frequently attends the annual Burning Man festival, and described her experience.

    "This enormous flower would actually blossom, and then the leaves would drop water for people to cool down under," she said.    

    Judging by the photos on their website, it's clear their magnificent creations would never be possible under the work of one person.  It just goes to show how far the positive forces of teamwork can go.  Check them out when you can!
