I had pitched THIS gallery to the LA Times, LA Weekly, NY Times and none of them seemed to quite "get" it. A gallery in Highland Park? Whaaa? Whatever.
Then my friends at Paper magazine called and said "hey...there's this new gallery...wanna write a story?"
Apparently you have to be 3000 miles away from LA to actually appreciate what's happening here.
Here's the story as it appeared in Paper...much shorter than I had written it...but still.

The opening was really fun. Lots of friends old and new. I purchased an Aleister Crowley print from the very talented Derek Albeck outside...ran into the lovely Monique from Icey Lytes...met her friend, the very nice young artist Albert Reyes. Good times.
