vote for us as “best of downtown”

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

We’ve been nominated for a “Best of Downtown” award by the Los Angeles Downtown News, in the “Best Boutique Store” category. Here’s our competition:

  • Kimski Makes
  • FIDM Museum Shop
  • Multeepurpose
  • PopKiller
  • Kapsoul
  • Flea
  • Stelladottir
  • LA Phil Store
  • RIF
  • Crack Gallery and Boutique
  • Flock Shop

Yeah, it’s an odd category for us to be in. They say it’s an honor just to be nominated. You can vote for us through June 2.

collaborative art

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

The papers we have out so you can test markers, pens, pastels, and all manner of other things become sort of collaborative art pieces, as you can see. (And click on any of those pictures to make them bigger.)

new store hours

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

We’ve expanded our store hours. Our new hours are:
Monday-Friday 10am – 7pm; Saturday 11am – 5pm

As one of the sponsors of the Downtown Art Walk, we will be open until 9:30pm every second Thursday of the month to accommodate downtown art walkers. We’ve started implementing some of our sale pricing in advance of this Thursday’s Art Walk – Strathmore pads are 20% off! Also, you asked for it and now we have it – books and magazines are in! We have Artforum, Modern Painters, Art in America, Wallpaper, and more.

We are still setting up shelves and awaiting delivery of more inventory from our distributors, but we’ve had lots of new stuff come in the past few weeks. The store is filling up nicely as we gear up for our Big Grand Opening in November, but more on that later. If you haven’t been in lately, stop by, check out our progress, and give us your feedback (or just say hello).
