The Number 1 Pop-Up Underground Art Show is BACK! Apr. 20th, at El Corazon.
Come experience one of the largest pop-up art movements to hit North America over the past decade. Celebrating over 10 years of serving FREE PANCAKES and introducing you to some of the nation’s leading emerging artists.
This LA based event started in 2009 and has since popped up more than 500 times in 35+ cities around Europe & North America. Batter sizzles, beer foams, and canvas lines the walls from ceiling to floor as hundreds, sometimes thousands, of revelers indulge in endless pancakes.
This is no stuffy wine-and-cheese, pretentious, someone-gag-me art event. It’s an innovative re-imagining of the art show concept. A welcoming vibe for up-and-coming artists to sell and strut their stuff in a free verse, anything goes environment.
• Over 75+ local artists exhibiting over 500+ pieces of work • FREE All-U-Can Eat Pancakes • 21+ EVENT • Live Audio Performances from local DJs and Music Producers • Live Body Painting & Art • 8pm to Midnight • $10 Pre-Sale (Limited quantity, available up to one week before the show) • $15 General Admission (Online the week of the show) • $ 20 GA (Day of Show)

Back from the dead!
Also I have resurrected the Occult Baby Head Cup from 2019! This little guy is the perfect vessel for all your sacred spells!
Let’s take a moment to appreciate “Occult”. The perfect gift for that special witch or warlock in your life. This particular Baby Head Cup comes complete with SpellLok TM already installed. Which makes it the perfect vessel for wishes, curses, hopes, and dreams. SpellLok TM has been specially designed to keep spells fresh and supple so when its time to enchant they are as potent as the day you conjured them. The Occult Baby Head Cup is available here!
