The Arkiv Art solo exhibition is right around the corner, at the Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles, and we are proud to be a supporter of Arkiv Vilmansa, and his awesome art. He’ll be visiting us on August 4th, 2012, all the way from Singapore, and he’s got quite a few pieces to exhibit, including three custom Vans Era’s custom hand-painted by him, in his signature flowing “feathers” if you will. They are a thing of beauty, and we’re expecting a huge turn-out for this event. This isn’t his first show here, and it surely won’t be his last. He’s on the rise, and you all need to come and witness this guy before he’s too big to hang around all of us small people! Come and say you were an early supporter. In fact, we have teamed up with Arkiv to produce a small amount of tees for the event. Portraying the “bones” theme that the shoes will be displayed with, he came up with a custom design exclusively for us, and you can order one right now, over on our OFFTHEWALLSITE forums. Send a direct message to his manager, OTWS member shaztech, and he will be able to set you up with a pre-order, to possibly wear to the event, where Arkiv may sign it for you! The numbers are limited. We’re talking about less than 10 per each size, so send him a message, or email him at shaz@arkivart.com. Don’t pass up this opportunity to own an awesome piece! Check out Arkiv Vilmansa’s work over on his site, and a few pieces he has for sale over on the TAG Webstore. He’s a truly amazing artist, and mark my words, he will be going places in the near future, and I’m glad that OTWS was given the opportunity to be a part of his growth and history!
