UNIQUE LA mini-market is coming to Urban Outfitters, August 23!

I'm excited to announce that I've partnered with Space 15Twenty (Urban Outfitters) to throw a summertime mini UNIQUE LA! The outdoor event will take place August 23, 10am-4pm, in the parking lot (on Ivar, near Sunset), during the same time as the Hollywood Farmers Market -- so mark your calendars! There will be about 50 fabulous designers/artists selling their stuff, DJs, drinks, sunshine and lots of love from the super-cool Space 15Twenty folks.

Come see the great designs and deals, plus get your fresh fruit/veggies/cheeses at the fantastic farmers market at the same time! Make sure to sign-up for our monthly newsletter to get the official invite, plus our fav picks in LA!

Ronald J Llanos: Local Artist and Art Instructor

I'm not sure if he's able to participate at UNIQUE, but am trying my hardest to make it happen. Ronald's work seems very familiar to me, probably because he illustrates what surrounds me here in LA and visual memories that have stuck in my mind since the 80s. His sense of perspective and color, and the moments-in-time that he chooses to document, speak volumes to me. Very simple and subtle, but never plain... Like the 3rd piece above, entitled Dinner, which instantly transports you into the atmosphere once you see the sprawling plastic 'playland' in the background. Shudder. ;)

He is a great example of the talent this city is home to.

Enjoy, and please check out his website to see his work. I especially love the Sidewalk 2 pieces, Toy District series, and Narratives gallery.
