The NIKE LA Destroyers event went down last night at the old Bank of America building in downtown Los Angeles during the city’s ever hectic Art Walk. Curated by artist Erik Siador, the idea of the Los Angeles celebrating exhibit was to take 11 LA-based artists and have them create artwork inspired by 11 LA-based […]
I’ll admit I’m getting a little tired of the Latte Lumberjack look permeating the streets of Venice, Silverlake, Echo Park and the entire planet of Brooklyn.

It’s got the fixie vibe only with bigger tires, which no doubt makes for a more comfortable ride, and […]
