The lines, style, curves, and colors all blend to make good art and Brooklyn, New York native Frank Creaturo, Jr. has an extensive artistic career in developing his particular style that you can easily recognize.
He studied at the School of Industrial Art and the School of Art and Design in NYC. Frank has been recognized with countless awards, featured in many newspapers for his works, has had several one man shows and was even spotlighted on Eyewitness News in New York. Frankie has been a contributing artist here at TribeLA Magazine since day one and his work will regularly be featured here. Look for “In Living Color” on the cover of our premiere issue coming this fall.

Day 11: How Vroman’s Bookstore CEO Allison Hill cultivates a thriving book community in Pasadena
As I walked past “shelf talkers,” which are book recommendation cards handwritten by employees, and “Edgar Allan Poe-ka dot” socks, I re-immersed myself in this familiar, homey culture. The store, decorated in warm browns and deep reds, seemed to draw everyone from senior citizens to parents with their kids in tow to dating teens.
Day 10: The TribeLA Magazine Roundtable for artists kicks off in March
The Roundtable is our way of bridging our communities by coming together informally to discuss common issues that face all of us as Angelenos. Together, the voices of the Arts and Cultures community will bring to light the conversations that are needed to explore, understand, and appreciate the diversity that make up the huge tribe of people in Los Angeles.
Day 9: Got Art?
Rather, you are emerging or established and you’ve GOT ART, we are interested in representing some of your art pieces in TribeLA Magazine. In addition to the magazine (print and online) you receive a lot of love on our website, our blog, and our new Art-on-Walls community-based project. We offer publicity to help you gain international recognition in addition to art exhibits, art-in-the-workplace, product placement, and sales. We also offer you an artist portfolio plus an online art gallery.

ENCORE of Leo Garcia’s “My Alien Abduction” – the exhibit that brought cultural Abduction & Appropriation to the forefront in L. A. + video trailer
If the myth of power is in part sustained by taking, or “abducting” (appropriating) what is owned by someone else and then making it your own and claiming it, then Garcia’s pantheon literally apes a hierarchical power structure that is human in invention. –Clayton Campbell
