los angeles pop up week
november 14th, 2024
the prep for my pop up this time around has been effortless. and extremely meaningful
i’ve thrown a few pop ups in my hometown and every one has given me raging anxiety attacks - a constant worry if people are going to show up, if anyone is going to buy anything, if things will run smoothly
but this pop up was very different. It was very easy and fulfilling
most nights consisted of getting high and making cool silly stupid crazy awesome shit with my friends - especially KATO, who sewed almost every GABBA hat, garment for the pop-up.. everyone say thank you KATOOOOOOOOOOOO
many conversations were had, and a mutual love for life and creation was shared
i made this cardigan with a photo of my brother and i on it. I printed and pressed it onto a piece of sturdy fabric, then dave sewed it on. I really love the stitching and it’s my mom’s favorite piece
on the day of the pop up, i was pretty nervous until i smoked my joint, took a shower, and thought about how all of my closest friends and family had reached out to me wishing me luck and saying how proud they are of me. I realized that that in itself was a success, and enough to make all of my hard work and planning worth it. the pop up is just the cherry on top - a place for my friends and i to celebrate the crazy amount of hours, love and passion that went into a 4 hour event :-)
this was the first thing that sold and it sold 4 hours before the pop up started!

first pop up in LA was incredible
some of my favorite artists that i really look up to were there, i met so many wonderful souls, i sold so many pieces!! i put so much love into all of the pieces i make and am so appreciative of all the support
i hope to have pop ups in new york, miami, tokyo, barcelona, san francisco, and everywhere else some day! Soon! Hopefully
