Robbie Conal Brings An Owl’s View to LAX Guerrilla poster artist Robbie Conal and his wife, film title designer Deborah Ross, will trade in political satire for an owl’s view of Los Angeles, with “Street Wise,” opening in Terminal 6 at LAX at the end of October. Conal, Ross and art critic Shana Nys Dambrot talk about an “ecstatic art” project that marries sky-high drone photography and the wise old birds of the natural world.
