When our friend Stephanie Inagaki, designer of Miyu Decay, asked if we would be interested in helping spread the word about the James Philip Ribiat-Finley Arts Endowment (her late fiance), we were of course more than willing.

Helping to support young, local teens who would like to pursue a career in the arts. More information will be forthcoming on the application process and details. Thank you for your patience!

Last Saturday, Munky King was the place to be. Their opening reception for Crowded Teeth’s ’Super Sweet Group Show’ was poppin’.

Sweet Streets, in collaboration with Crowded Teeth curated an amazing group show with artists such as: Luke Chueh, Eimi, Miso, Martin Hsu, NICO, Mizna Wada, Angry Woebots, among many talented artists.

All of the art was inspired by the works of Crowded Teeth. Of course, we had a little hand in pushing the magic into the world wide web.

The show was a collection of coloful, magical, and cute that only Crowded Teeth could inspire.

We don’t know what was the best part, the art, the magical Crowded Teeth Cupcakes, or the awesome food from Lomo Arigato!
