The weekend passed like it was never there. That’s how fast it went and the highlight was without doubt Saturday night’s event at LAB ART on LaBrea right here in LA. The gallery did a joint venture with the infamous tattoo artists ‘Black Banditz’, who are located on Melrose and where most of my tattoo crazed friends get their ink done. On this specific night the Banditz donated free ink all night. No kidding! And trust me, they were beyond busy. In the backroom was an ice cream truck and Rony’s Photobooth was on the spot to document the evening as well.
If I’m in town, and in need of some visual inspiration Iskander Lemseffer’s (the owner) events at LAB ART is a good place to drop by. The scene is a cool happening mix of art lovers and collectors, artists, celebrities and the ‘Hollywood in-crowd’. On this specific night the crowd was younger and more hipster than usual. A no brainer since so many came to get some free ink. Two of my girl friends got work done. I was a happy camper just to stand by and watch white wine on ice in hand.
I’m looking forward to see what LAB ART has up the sleeve next time and I’ll make sure to be there and document it with my Canon G12 …

Street Artist Aaron Axelrod was there. We got to compare notes about our experience doing the 10 day silent Vippassana meditation. I did it 2 years ago and he came back from it recently. #’Dope’ as he would say…
