Alex Pardee is constantly working on new projects.  We can’t keep up.  He just had a massive opening at Gallery 1988 in L.A (7020 Melrose Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90038).  I’m sure more pics will pop up from the opening, but you can peep Alex’s blog for some background and inspiration.

Thanks to Sean at Zerofriends for keeping us excited about all the new stuff.

Lyrics Born needs an intern

Deets:
We’re looking for an intern(s) here at Team LB.
Basically someone who would be working directly with JB (LB’s right hand man) and handling the day to day stuff such as interns normally do.
We’d like to find someone willing to work for free, but in this economy that’s not always the case, so, we are willing to pay a very nominal monthly stipend.
You need to be in the SF Bay Area (East Bay), and it will help your case if you have a car.  If you think you have what it takes, please contact Justin.
