ArtLoveMagic was invited by Donny Benavidez to bring a handful of live artists out to support a hip-hop show at The Green Elephant. In all, we brought seven artists (including Ben Moss pic'd above).

Since we never worked with Poor Vida before, we really didn't know what to expect. The Show was crazy. Lots of loud hip-hop. Best of all, their DJ was off the chain- fast- fast- fast!

We scattered artists throughout the room and encouraged the crowd to go up and talk to them while we drew and painted.

For us, this show was a chance to relax a bit. Since Poor Vida handled all the arrangements, mostly we just had to show up and make art. above- Mike and Luan say wassup. Riki Johnson (above right) brings the color. Her work always lightens the room.

It's a Rikki, Mike, and Dave jam. My favorite moment of the whole night was when Dave and I were working on this piece and Rikki just jumped in and said, "Can I hit this?" It was awesome. Below are a collection of some of the pics taken this night. Check them out.
