Gary Baseman's highly-collectible collab with Harveys Seatbeltbags is finally here. I played a small role in making the project happen, and this week, I received a set of the beautiful bags.

Not only do the handbags feature Baseman's artwork on the outside, they also have an amazing custom lining and key charms of his Venison, Creamy and Marilyn characters. And i secretly love the dust bags that are imprinted with hot pink metallic Baseman images.

Baseman was just featured on Fecal Face, and his next solo show will be in Barcelona this July at IguaPop gallery. Check it out if you are in Spain for Bread & Butter.

Hair hats by Japanese artist Nagi Noda are a little crazy and a lot of fun. They come in a variety of species, and of course, the dogs are my favorite.

After attending Corey Helford Gallery's opening for FOUR last night and walking the Culver City Artwalk today, you deserve a well-earned shoe splurge. KEEP is having a sale at their new downtown HQ on Saturday and Sunday. Brendan Fowler and Ooga Booga friends will be DJing at 418 Bamboo Lane, Los Angeles, 90012.

And for camp Beverly Hills, Prada is having a sale.
And for the NYC set, stop by ALIFE's Summer Sale.

Also, tonight check out a special one-night event at La Luz De Jesus Gallery featuring a collaboration between recording artist Aimee Mann and visual artist Gary Taxali. Taxali has contributed 17 original illustrations for the packaging of Mann's new CD and 7th solo release @#%&! Smilers. Both Taxali and Mann will be present to sign copies of the new CD.

Mark your calendars! On May 17, Nov York CIty opens at Alife in Los Angeles. Based on Dumar Brown's novel The World Screaming Nov, the exhibition features new work by Eric Haze.

Eric is creating eight archival silkscreen works on canvas, and I am looking forward to seeing his work in person. He has been a notable figure in the design and fashion community over the last few decades, and his iconic graphics have defined the visual language of hip hop bands such as the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and LL Cool J.

The event also marks the debut of the The World Screaming Nov collaborative set, which includes a signed copy of Brown's novel and a custom Alife t-shirt designed by Eric Haze.

Look for more art events at Alife LA in the coming months, as they will be presenting special exhibitions throughout the year.
