Sunday Inspiration

Teebs gets the spotlight on this week’s ‘Sunday Inspiration.’  I stopped by High Fidelity Vinyl, the new record shop in Los Feliz Village, for his live performance this afternoon promoting the shop as well as his recent release, Collections 01.  He also dropped this track today on Soundcloud that got some repeat plays on my laptop today…

just for you by teebsio

I’ve been in the process of collecting some artwork by local LA artists (such as Kutmah), and am trying to get my hands on some prints of Teebs’ artwork as well. His work summons a mind-meld between Alex Pardee (sans darkness) and Daniel Egneus…two of my favorite artists hailing from completely different levels of inspiration.

Here are a few of my favorites of his…
