LA City Council hosted exhibition reception for Aardvark Loteria

Last night the LA City Council celebrated the installation of the Los Angeles Loteria Series currently on display in the third floor bridge that connects City Hall and City Hall East.

The series was printed by Aardvark Letterpress Fine Art Editions, whose owners Brooks and Cary Ocon worked closely with art director/designer Rick von Dehl and co-curator Lisa Jane Persky to create a 40th Anniversary project that would represent the full scope of the Aardvark Letterpress business.

LA Council President Eric Garcetti, gave a remarkable speech on how LA is truly the epicenter of art and the Los Angeles Loteria Series captured the diverse culture of Los Angeles. (I have to admit, I feel so honored to representing my “Asian” peeps in that series!) It was wonderful to see the city is actively involved in the arts and supporting our work.

Trunk show coverage @ Tiny Ginger's Showroom

Tiny Ginger Showroom

Tiny Ginger Showroom

Recently, our NY agent Tiny Ginger held a trunk show for us along with some of our friends. WE HAD A BLAST! We invited some of our wonderful friends from Patisserie Co., Origami Bijou and Fablelore to join us for our 2nd trunk show in NY.

Held at Tiny Ginger’s brand new showroom, we managed to pull many fans, press and buyers to celebrate Ginger’s new space. Holding a trunk show is a great way to sell off-season inventory and mingle with fans. My highlight was of course, just hanging out with other ethical, respected, women-designer entrepreneurs and pick each other’s brain on sales strategies, manufacturing problems and trade shows!
