January Downtown LA Art Walk: The Mixed Bag
…Just like every other Downtown LA Art Walk. But the art walk last week was the first I’d actually “art-walked” as a spectator. First off, even though LA is a driving town, there was a distinct lack of wine present. I’m comparing, naturally, to the artwalks of Chelsea and the Meatpacking Districts of Manhattan, where [...]
Nevermore, My Love-Children…Nevermore.
“It started out simple enough: a couple glasses of wine, several shots of bourbon, and pondering what would happen if Dr. Seuss, Richard Scarry, and a stable of My Little Ponies each downed a bucket of liquid acid and proceeded to engage in an orgy that spawned a hundred love-children.”
The Lot 44 Gallery invites you [...]

Symbiotic Form For the Holidays!
There’s a new chunk of stores opening up in Downtown LA on Main & 7th, at 111 W 7th St. All the ground floors are barely bigger than a large walk-in closet, some are packed to the gills with stuff, others are more sparsely designed, giving a delicate, couture feel to their stores.

Arias With A Twist: Drag Diva Takes Redcat
“Arias with a Twist” is a whacked-out show that demands your attention by employing quick wit fused with extremely imaginative staging. This is all held together by the soaring song stylings of this demented (and very talented) singer.
Spilt Society Brings in the New Art
Spilt Society’s first multimedia art show last night was easily one of the most conceptually fulfilling shows I’ve seen in a long, long time. The idea behind the show was to track the creative process from the point of conception to the finished work. Causecast donated the space – an interesting multi-room affair built to [...]
Spilt Society, One Night Only!
Spilt is essentially a live art event in which the artists choose how they present the process and product of their work. A crushingly simple, direct, and unique concept, Split asks the artists, “Do your thing.” Nothing more, nothing less, no molding their works into the confines of a prescribed exhibition format. The artists, expressing [...]

R. Crumb Terrifies You With The Bible
In the late ’60s, R. Crumb’s psychedelic comics—including the characters Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, Devil Girl and the popular Keep on Truckin’ cartoon— propelled him overnight to celebrity status in San Francisco’s burgeoning underground scene. His charming “bigfoot” style fused with overt sexual images were very well received in the free-love capital—but also led [...]
