BEscobar_CameraCreeps (11 of 12)
Last Friday night, dual exhibitions by The Camera Creeps and Benjie Escobar opened at the Seventh Letter Gallery on Fairfax. We've interviewed both Benjie and the Creeps, so we always like to keep up with their latest shows and releases. Most recently, Benjie Escobar has been feeding the good people of Los Angeles with delicious musubi and he recently completed a huge mural for Pow! Wow! Long Beach.

Members of the Camera Creeps have been producing independent zines and various collectibles for a collective called Applesauce Industries. Last Friday night's gallery opening was a hot one, as june bugs buzzed around the lights outside, people huddled around their favorite pieces as they instagrammed it for all their friends to see. The all film photography by the Creeps never seems to disappoint. Follow the link for a full recap of photos by both Erwin Recinos and Desilu Munoz.
