It’s Hell Not Having a Hero ~ New Works by: BRANDED ~ Saturday August 2nd @ Capsole

6:54 AM PDT on July 25, 2008

New works by BRANDED @ Capsole 7320 1/2 Melrose ~ Opening Reception: August 2nd 7-11PM

For those seeking a bonafide all-city artist who has scratched, stuck, pasted, drawn, sprayed, tarred, and hell, feathered practically every conceivable surface in Los Angeles, look no further than to the upcoming solo show by artist, joker, rumored zoophiliac, and past TACO contributor BRANDED.

BRANDED's first solo show will be a killer, no doubt, throwing surprises, shocks, fun, and surely something to think about in the viewer's direction. Also, dude knows how to party, so come support and thrill to one of Los Angeles most prolific and beloved/hated public artists of the 2000's at the opening reception. This one's worth queueing up for L.A., be there next Saturday night!
