Many artists came out to show their support throughout the evening including Stella Im Hultberg (in town for her show at Copro), Shawn Barber (just settling into LA after moving down from SF), Jesse Hotchkiss (look for him next month in our project room), Kim Saigh (of LA Ink fame / soon to open a new shop in LA with Shawn Barber), LA graffiti icons Mear One and Yem, and Aussie exports Dabs Myla. The press were out in force as well, so be sure to look for features soon on Arrested Motion, Coagula, Juxtapoz and Dailydujour (who just posted here).

Mention this post, and I'll be happy to provide a nice discount on any of their works. They really need to be seen in person, SO much detail and thought go into each piece from both of these emerging talents.

The MODART show opened last night to a great crowd that was made up of some pretty big names from the art and entertainment industries. Thanks much to the Harlan and MODART for delivering a great show and to NOMAD and Guillaume Desmarets for really kicking things up a notch with their great installations. There are some really great works in this show that need to be seen in person, so please be sure to swing on through during our normal hours to catch this colorful and flowing array of works from around the globe.

Be sure to visit us if you are swinging through the Sunset Junction Street Fair next weekend - we'll be open late both days / but keep in mind they are charging admission this year. More details on the Street Festival later this week.

On view through September 4th
