LA ART SHOW 2012
This past Saturday, I woke up to dark clouds, a cold wind, and the desire to not go anywhere with a plan to drive up to LA and cover an art show.

As the Art Gods read my mind and decided to change the weather on me, I decided... Read More

A quick look at Retna…Weho Library Project!
On the morning of July 17th, I was up in LA on my way to get some eats with my sister. As we made our way to the cafe, the only thing on my mind was the possibilities of running into some CARMAGGEDON madness. As I took a wrong turn and had to make my way back up Robertson Ave, my turn onto Melrose brought me a HUGE suprise. To my suprise I caught a quick glimpse of RETNA putting... Read More
