September 17th, 2011 No comments

Bumblebee just completed this great new 30′ long mural in an alley off of La Cienega Blvd. in LA. We so love his work. Bee on the look out for big things from him in early 2012… more details soon.

September 17th, 2011 No comments

HOW and NOSM just shot over new pics of a massive wall they recently completed down in Miami inside the Wynwood Walls Complex. The twins completed this monster in only four days! Look for big things from them this December down in Miami, but first watch for them this October in Los Angeles at Known Gallery.

Opening night photos from Nagel, Nehrbass and Ramirez + Lindsey Carr at Thinkspace

September 14th, 2011 No comments

Main gallery view

Thank you to all that stopped through our gallery this past Saturday as we kicked off our September exhibits. Culver City was alive with all the galleries open and the streets were filled with art lovers. Aaron Nagel, Jeff Ramirez and Lindsey Carr were on hand to greet them all and we heard repeatedly throughout the evening how much folks were enjoying both shows.

Lindsey Carr

Big congratulations go out to Lindsey Carr on selling out her debut U.S. solo show. We’ve a handful of the free color pamphlets still on hand that profile each piece in the show, so be sure to come through soon and pick one up before they’re gone. Lindsey will be back in a few group shows with us early next year while her next major showing will take place up at Roq La Rue in Seattle next summer (details to be announced soon). Plans for a follow up solo showing with us for 2013 are already underway as well.

'Homage To Canton' from Lindsey Carr in our project room

Both exhibits on view through October 1st

DABS MYLA featured in new issue of Juxtapoz

September 14th, 2011 No comments

DABS MYLA are featured in the new issue of Juxtapoz (Oct. 11 / n129) now on stands with Jeremy Fish on the cover. Within the duo have a 14-page spread where they are interviewed by ‘Art In The Streets’ curator Roger Gastman and complimented with a photo shoot by good friend Cat Cult (aka Ian Campbell). So stoked for them and well deserved after selling all 72 works featured in their recent ‘Best Of Times’ exhibit with us.

“So, a hint to all you people out there looking for the ‘next big thing.’ It’s here and there are two of them.” - Roger Gastman

Just back from rocking SF as part of the ‘Young & Free’ show at 941 Geary (where they sold all their work yet again)… the two are preparing for a museum show down in Tijuana currently (details to follow) that opens later this month and then they head over to London to rock the Moniker Fair with a big mural on the exterior and a special project booth within the fair… and then down to Miami for this year’s Primary Flight in Dec (and much more as well in the works).

Can’t stop, won’t stop – try to keep up at www.dabsmyla.com
