ZLA's "human bean" is an urban creation drawn from the streets, destined to survive the city's tough times. The anonymous designer's latest pop-up show, Strength in Numbers skillfully utilizes graphic design, animation, and "Bean" himself — a compelling example of synchronicity and the power of collaboration in everyday life. Confused? It all makes sense, provided you make it down to the opening party, which features drinks, refreshments, and an appearance from the elusive artist him/herself.

ZLA Pop-Up Shop says…

It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at, right? My name is ZLA. I am a Human Bean. Representing for all. I am a city dweller since birth. I live in the city and the city lives in me. The powers that be call the city the Z Machine. We're millions deep and growing. It's tricky out here. We are all trying to get to the top. I'll see you up there. Times are tough and it looks like sh*t's getting tougher. We all drive, work, and get taxed. You gotta follow the rules, cause if you don't, the piggies keep you in check. Some make it, others break it. So stay alive and keep on hustling, 'cause you never know when the Z Machine will take over.
