ARTIST OF THE WEEK
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
The occult, the surreal, the dark, the mythological, and all the hidden symbolism you don’t know on that dollar bill in your pocket, are just a few elements that make up our artist of the week, Cam Rackam…
A good friend of Lowrider Tattoo, Cam is substantially one of the hardest working fine artists out today, constantly painting and drawing…promoting his own art shows and group shows all around…
If he’s not working on a project for a band, a show, our his own personal pieces, he’s out promoting groups of artists….representing The Congregation Gallery @ Forgotten Saints off Melrose in Hollywood, Cam is a machine of work, constantly trying to find the “perfect” piece, only to create works of art that are the subjects of his life and passions…
Check out more of Cam Rackam’s work and upcoming shows at www.myspace.com/camrackam .

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Greenspan’s, a family owned and operated business, is known as “The Last Original Clothing Store,” due to their one of a kind selection in the world. Their first location was located in Watts, and it opened its doors in 1928. They closed it down in 1939 when they moved headquarters to Southgate, where they have been located ever since. In business for over 80 years, Greenspan’s have kept their original style alive for their customers by carrying Pendletons, Car Club Coats, hats, winos, Hush Puppies, Stacy Adams, Levis, Cascade, Dickies, and hundreds of other brands, as well as their own Greenspan’s brand. They are also the leading provider in hard to find styles that are often used in movies, music videos, and television shows.
Greenspan’s apparel has been featured in movies such as La Bamba, Blood In Blood out, The Outsiders, American Me, American History X, Boyz N The hood, Mi Vida Loca, The Green Mile, Dumb and Dumber, Ocean’s 13, Fast and Furious, and many more.
Music artists that support Greenspan’s and their products include Cypress Hill, Social Distortion, Ice Cube, The Psycho Realm, NWA, Lil Rob, Snoop Dogg, Metallica, Kid Rock, The Jackson 5, AC/DC, Rancid, Lady Ga-Ga, and a whole lot more.
Greenspan’s unique style can also be seen in popular television shows such as LA Ink, That 70’s Show, Carnivale, American Family, Culture Clash, The Ben Stiller Show, Roswell, The Shield, and Journeyman.
Now, they would like to invite you to “Greenspan’s Classic Car & Motorcycle Show” held in South Gate Park.
