The Rooftop of a premier art gallery in LA. Overlooking the shimmering lights of the infamous Sunset strip. The sounds of small talk & exited enthusiasm rumbling from the world’s art elite. And on display for the world a form of art that is more synonyms with the cold hard concrete of the streets than the pristine manicured walls of a gallery. A place that’s giving artists, with backgrounds in what some consider street vandalism, their true notoriety and legitimacy in the art world. Allowing artist the platform not only to receive their laurels but also to showcase everything they’ve done for the landscape of art. It’s hard to feel anything but unyielding joy & excitement in this place.
First off we want to thank all of the hardcore D.CREW fans for be so amazingly fanatical about our Limited Edition Heart x D.CREW tee. But there is another group of amazing people that we have to thank. Without them this entire project would not have been possible. So from the entire D.CREW, thank you to our dear friends Vince, atLOUD & OBNOXIOUS, & Robert, over at Glad Rags Ink, for getting us out of a bind and letting us use their print press when we were having a technical issue with ours.
Robert & Vince were nice enough to give me a tour of their newly opened LOUD & OBNOXIOUS and Glad Rags Ink HQ. So let’s take a look around.
