Los Angeles, CA
Ink & Plastic
SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 6:30 – 10pm

Girl artist Andy Jenkins (http://www.bendpress.com) is having a release party for his Lettus Bee action figure. Lettus is the main character from Jenkins’ Wrench Pilot comic
Self Storage
Art Exhibition by Ben Horton
Nine Star West, LA
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 5th, 8pm
Black Box Distribution artist Ben Horton is also having an art show at Nine Star (www.9star.com) in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Horton's ideas come from photographs and his life experiences. The people that inhabit Horton's canvases have an indefinable connection, something gleaned from their expressions or eyes. He sees people and animals as extraordinary art forms.“Animals seem so common,” says Horton, “but you rarely see them unless you go to the zoo. Raccoons aren’t particularly unusual, but if you see one on the street you’ll still be surprised. Animals get that reaction from you. They're untouchable.”
Minneapolis, MN
Tre Day
Familia Skate Shop
10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Nike is having a release party for their new Seth McCallum Nike SB Loon Zoom Tre. The collaboration shoe is a colorway that pays tribute to the Midwest, the Loon (Minnesota’s state bird), and Familia skate shop(www.familiaskateshop.com).
