Meet the artists who paint book murals on LA’s North Figueroa Bookshop

Natalie Cruz and Jazmin Navarro say their work makes them feel part of community.

If you’ve been inside, or even just driven by, North Figueroa Bookshop in Highland Park, the home of LA publishers Unnamed Press and Rare Bird, you’ll notice the signage.

The building has cool, hand-painted murals of book covers on its façade. Last weekend, I was in the neighborhood and decided to swing by the store, and I saw the sign painters were hard at work in the afternoon heat painting a mural of Tessa Hulls’ Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic memoir, “Feeding Ghosts.”
