Recap : Inspiration Trade Show

It's been a minute but we're finally posting this recap from the Inspiration trade show back in February. Innocnts doesn't really fit in at the other larger trade shows so for our first go at this "booth" thing we gave Inspiration a shot. Smaller brands, attention to details, nostalgic vibes, and no pressure. We had live music from Seth Pettersen, free beers courtesy of the local liquor store, live pinstriping by Vince Felix, and tattoos by Jose Araujo.  The legendary Jeff Ho even stopped by and gave the tattoo machine a try under the tutelage of Mid Town Tattoo's Jose Araujo. Though we didn't really sell much (not even sure what we were trying to sell really), we had a blast and hopefully left an impression with some of the folks that passed through. Maybe we'll do it again next year.

LYON HERRON PHOTOGRAPHY

Ever met Lyon Herron? We bet you'd be stoked if you did! An all around great example of human being, surfer, friend, and cancer survivor. All those key personality traits lead to one heck of a life perspective so it's no surprise Lyon would gravitate towards documenting the beauties of life through the lens of photography. Lyon is 100 percent dedicated and now a days with all the over-night "photographers" inebriated with Insta-fame, that's something to take pride in. Lyon lives it. From motorcycle mayhem in the desert salt flats to swimming among cracking blue barrels at Pipe, Lyon is engaged and tuned in.

Stoked to have Lyon as an Innocnts Advocate.

Recap: Never Mind The Dog At Innocnts

We had a great opening last Saturday (11/28) for Never Mind The Dog, a group exhibition curated by Jose Araujo. Inspired by conditions of rebellion, street themes, outsider markings, and other concepts of thought, much of the work in NMTD is socially reflective of the times we live yet holds nostalgic relevance through it's cultural awareness. Curated with a focus on shades of black, white, and grey, Jose and crew transformed the gallery space by airbrushing a brick wall on one side with buffed tags on the opposing wall. Similar scaled work from a solid crew of respected tattoo artists adorned the walls making the space visually stimulating upon entry. In the back corner Jose created a small tattoo shop installation complete with checkered floor, a VHS tv, and various tattoo ephemera strewn across the work desk. Later on in the night local synth metal band DiVola put a killer performance for gallery patrons. And to top it all off, the night was blessed with free beer and pizza compliments of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Delicious Pizza keeping everyone in proper form.

The following Sunday Jose setup in the gallery space offering $40 tattoos on a first come first serve basis while we grilled up some Asada and Pollo with some cold beers. Our friends at Badseed Printing parked out front and had a nice sidewalk sale with various items including vintage pornos, Beavis & Butthead magnets, Innocnts tees, custom beer coozys, and other favorable items for that certain someone in your life. It was a solid weekend overall to say the least.

The show was just a 2-day pop-up so if you missed it, you're outta luck. That said, we do have an exhibition pdf catalog with available for those interested. Contact us here for more details.

Aaron Elvis Jupin makes rad things. He also skates pretty good. Plus he's a great human being. That's why we love him. A Few weeks back we celebrated the opening of his solo exhibition // HOW'D I GET HERE? //  at Innocnts Gallery.
