Use Your Words: Letters from Los Angeles at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts

Some people really hate writing. Something about word choice, grammar, and syntax completely turns them off. But even outside their given grammatical order, words serve as great inspiration for a completely different expression — the visual arts. That rings especially true for the fascinating works in the show “Letters from Los Angeles.” At Jack Rutberg…

Eat a Taco, See Great Art – Restitution Press at C.A.V.E. Gallery

In a truck. At a restaurant. From a drive-thru. Nothing quite gets me as excited as a delicious, mouth-watering taco. Or should I say tacos – plural. Living in Los Angeles basically means residence in taco heaven. From big-chain restaurants to hole-in-the wall eateries, you can find tacos practically everywhere in the city. And visitors who…

Andrew Schoultz: Ready to Take Over Los Angeles

As you drive east down Washington Boulevard, right before you hit Fairfax you might notice something different: Where there used to be a blank, brick wall there is now a sprawling, carefully detailed mural.
