WalrusTv just put up this video done by Alexander Tarrant and Shaun Roberts that features Buff Diss and his tape art.
There are couple scenes that should be familiar to those of you that remember the chain on the street and the insane Paul Robeson piece that Buff did here at the store (see below).
Also encourage you to check out his flickr page to see more of his work.

Wow so much going on in this one. Whether is is James Worthy playing the Bowser from Sha Na Na role. Or all the sunglasses, from Blue Blockers, I see some aviators in there, the blue hair wrap-arounds, the Lakers covered them all here. And then Magic is the only one not wearing a pair? Alcinder was too good to make it to the video shoot? Yes, in case you were wondering, Pat Riley is one baddddd dude. This is the World Champion 1987 LA Lakers anti-drug song and video.
Shaun just brought over the photos from the night.
The show will be up until the week of June 16th, when everything will start to come down day by day, and our last day in business will be June 18th. Of course the sale ( 50% off everything except the artwork in the current exhibit) will continue right up until the last day.
The pictures are also on our Events page in our usual slideshow format but I’ve put every single one of them below. I originally was going to do captions but lost the heart when I realized just how many photos I’m posting. Thanks to everyone that came out. We had a great turnout and it was all love.
60 more pictures right this way…

David Young hanging his latest piece last night.
Also wanted to point you to an interview that Katie Zuppann from Juxtapoz.com did with Chris Burch.

artbusiness.com just put up the photos from David Young’s show, Neighborhood Watch, at Cafe Royale.
Accompanying the photos is a great review of the show written by poet/writer/artist Alan Kaufman. The review of the show and Alan’s perceptions about David’s work and all that has quietly been happening on the downtown art scene is pretty on point. He has a few kind words for Babylon Falling as well and I can’t say I disagree.
Check out the review (towards the bottom of the page) at http://www.artbusiness.com/1open/firstth0509b.html
And of course tonight is our big group retrospective show, ‘the end is near…’. The show is more or less all hung and I know I’ve said the same for every show we’ve had here but this one can’t be missed.
New work from Robert Bowen, David Choong Lee, John Felix Arnold III, Emory Douglas, David Ball, David Young, Christopher Burch, a wall of photos from Shaun Roberts, and classic pieces from Hal Lawrence, Le Bijoutier, Shawn Mortensen, C3, buZ blurr, and Peter Simon.
We’re also giving out a DVD that contains hundreds of pictures taken over the course of the life of the store, all of our studio visits, a gallery of all our show flyers, and a teaser of our trip last summer to Jamaica. Shaun killed it with fully functional menus and he didn’t skimp with the photos…a bunch of pictures I’d never even seen.
Come out tonight and see it all for yourself. 6pm-9pm!
