UGLAR BOOK MURAL IN MID-CITY

Since people are asking...
This mural was done on La Brea between Venice and Pico.



What's UGLAR??

The Ulysses Guide to the Los Angeles River

One of the most appealing, insightful and well thought out books to come out in the last couple of years. It deals with the art and biology of the LA River. A true LA story and must have for any artist or environmentalist who resides in Los Angeles.

BUY IT HERE.



The culture of Los Angeles flows -- both figurative and quite literally -- through its central vein: The River. This book is borne from a fascination and love that precedes the attention that has shifted back to this flow. Fathered by the late Ulysses Zemanova and further nurtured by its co-authors/editors, The Ulysses Guide to the Los Angeles River (UGLAR) moves beyond the overexposed culture of graffiti and misunderstood world of scientific discovery. UGLAR wishes to bring to light the authors' interest, if only to spawn more within its readers.

UGLAR's first volume has two focuses: Biology and Art. Los Angeles-based artwork contributions from: Chaz Bojorquez, ZES, Jack Rudy, Chuey Quintanar, Steve Martinez, Gregg Stone, Robert Meinhardt, Chris Brand, SinerLTS, Evan Skrederstu, Rob Sato ... and more. Interviews with artists also included.

PRINTED - Hell of a successful show!

The Opening Reception was December 6th and was off the hook!

Over 700 peeps were in attendance that night! We ended up shutting down the event at exactly 9pm because of the huge crowd that was spilling out into the street and causing traffic to back up in all directions.





Two Rabbits handled the live hand-printing
at the opening and during the Downtown Artwalk.





With live sets performed by DJ Phyz Ed and friends.



The exhibition features an exclusive mix of limited hand printed urban art by LA's most influential up and coming artists.

This exhibit ran during our 6 year anniversary month of May. It was curated by big VYAL ONE and showcased great photos by some of today's young writers documenting their experiences on the streets as they see them. Including photos by Sahl, Stag, Branded, Junk, Dame, Snots, Gabe88, El George, Sen, Oscar the Grouch, Dim7 and many others. Parts of this show will travel to the LA County Fair later this summer. So keep your eyes open for it!
