On April 18th our good friend and homie Ceazs Hernandez helped organize an art/design/jewelry exhibit on the rooftop of the 1010 Wilshire. With free entry and free beer/wine, it got pretty crackin' and the vibe was right.

The artists are Escif, the Brosmind duo and David M. Buisán, who all have a different background and bring [...]

Artist Mat Miller
Mat Miller is a Oxford, United Kingdom based designer/illustrator whose I just recently came across. I was immediately a fan. Information on him was scare, besides an artist statement that appeared on multiple sites.
