My former Silver Lake neighbor, the gifted photographer and artist Kiino Villand, is taking part in a charity art fundraiser to benefit Tibetan schools and children in downtown on Friday.
Definitely will be planning to swing by myself, and perhaps you can do the same. Looks like quite an array of artists providing their work, including Shepard Fairey, Tara McPherson and many others. Here’s what Kiino sent out today about the event:
