My friend Tay always buys me cool art for birthdays and holidays. This is a piece she gave me a few years ago by the LA artist Albert Reyes. What's really great is that it's screened on the inside of a vintage book cover. Reyes is a great draftsman, doing detailed drawings of vatos, gangstas, hos, bros, tags, gats - you know, flavors East LA and beyond. His book, Don't Give Up (which I still haven't given back up to Gee), has so many killer snapshots and collages in it - one is a black and white snapshot of a guy surfing. Which made me wonder if Reyes actually surfs too...

I meant 'peek' but i'll take your peak also.
I don't know. I saw him at the last block party down here. Not sure he spends much time in the water. You never know though.
