Jonas Never has become L.A.'s unofficial sports muralist with his unforgettable work displayed across the city. From the Kobe Bryant tribute in Grand Central Market, to his most recent Joe Kelly pouty face mural, Never's art has had fans lined up for blocks just to take a photo. 

We spoke with Never about his inspiration for his iconic murals From Kobe's, Kelly's, the infamous LeBron James "King James" mural and more.

Never details what the Dodgers' Kelly mural meant for the city in a time when a pandemic needed a ray of light to shine through, fans reception and even Kelly's reception himself.
