Meltdown Comics ~ 7522 Sunset Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90046 

Karan Koron Geta Art Exhibition is a large-scale group exhibition curated by none other than Los Angeles and Mexico’s Pioneering graffiti artist Galo “Make” Canote (STN) that features over 60 artists: internationally acclaimed Japanese artists, local and underground artists, and legendary graffiti artists customizing getas, traditional wooden shoes from Japan. Karan Korn ('clickety clack') is the sound made when walking in getas. Read on for a full list of the websites for the awesome artists involved.

Don't miss this, it will be so-off-the -fucking hook. Respect to MAKE ONE and Melt Gallery. This is one of the year's tightest, most original shows!
