Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

Who you calling a 'Toy'?!

I've been following Tristan Eaton from NYC for a little while. Carl, the toy collector, told me that he's an ex-designer from Kid Robot. I just knew his work with Seen, the graff legend and the Pigs project, better known as 'NoSkool'.

So I get an email telling me that Tristan is in town this week. Earlier he was at the Munkey King toy store on Melrose a few blocks from home. But I'm no toy fella, so I opt for the art show at Blk/Mkt in Culver City instead.

There was live music from Fred Wreck, of Tha Dogg Pound fame ~ he dropped the ol' skool, classic party tunes. Oh, that would've been a cool mix tape! And, for visual stimulation there some live painting of panels that were selling for $500.

Here are some photos from the night out. It was fun. And the pretty, cute girl quota was high ;-) Hello Serena. Hahhaa. But I was there for the love of art.
