Clare Rojas new book… I wrote about this before, and now Juxtapoz blogged it too. Ironically, I just stole the photo back. Hope you don’t mind either! I didn’t know I had dry wit, but that sounds pretty good, I think. Clare Rojas new book, nicely written about in Juxtapoz… I don’t think I mentioned that we’re distributing the book, so it’s slowly getting out to the finer shops near you.

In Pasadena old town area, they have an art walk type thing. There, people show off their wares like zines, paintings, sculpture, and random items.

Nelson sports a Fila jacket and a New Era LA cap. Mr Canseco, classic GR cap. Souther’s fan range, these folks bought a piece from him a while ago. They were on the fence for this show. Yes, you do need living room space to make it happen. Pikapika! Yes, they didn’t paint with light, but it’s cool they came though.
