CRYPTIK ~ Studio Visit

12:12 PM PDT on April 11, 2012

L.A. TACO was invited to a studio visit with Los Angeles based art movement CRYPTIK. CRYPTIK has big things in store in 2012, including a book release this summer with Zero + Publishing (Gingko Press will distribute). The book, "CRYPTIK: EASTERN PHILOSOPHY," will include a mix of CRYPTIK street art and the Eastern Philosophy Series icons and lettering. Other projects include a proposed pop-up shop in Hawaii and trip to South East Asia as part of a worldwide Eastern Philosphy Series Tour.

The first stop on the tour will be here in Los Angeles for the exhibition LA Freewalls Inside, the opening of LA LA Gallery curated by Daniel Lahoda on April 21st. For more info about upcoming shows and CRYPTIK, visit CRYPTIK.com.
