The artist who spray-painted the design onto the home in Manhattan Beach, known as Z the Art, posted a photo of the painted home to his Instagram account in May with the hashtags #TheEmojiHouse and #eyelashextensions.
The paint job appeared shortly after the owner, Kidd was found in violation of the city’s rental laws and was fined $4,000.
Kidd was quoted as saying “I’m trying not to offend anybody,” Kidd said. “I did it for the purpose of being happy, being positive, and I think it’s cute and quirky and kind of funny, and certainly was a time for the emoji.”
