Third in the series is the one and only Birdman, who takes you on a journey from the world’s most depressing cubicle to the world’s most vibrant artists… make sure to click on the images to see them in their full glory.

The Site UnScene (TSUS*) represent the next generation of Los Angeles art management and curation. Founders JB Jones and Wil Atkinson have taken a different approach to the art world, truly putting the promotion and development of artists ahead of any other goal. To that end, the team is announcing their downtown headquarters, a warehouse style gallery where collectors of every type (from sticker fans to print buyers to serious art collectors) can come check out work by artists such as Septerhed, Destroy All Design, Gregory Siff and others. A unique aspect of the space is a 24 hour “artists gym” where artists can come work and create or have a session on the indoor skateramp. Both the gym and the gallery are available by appointment only but don’t be intimidated, everyone is invited to stop by as long as you call or email first.

Gracias a Sadid (Eikon) ,a Dhear, y a todos los vecinos menos a la del abarrotes (ya sabeis).
