Catch me if you can… Part 3 MoCA & Coco

So now we’re into Tuesday last week…
I headed to LA proper to rendezvous with the infamous “Hobo” Josh Herron and his chica Kay…

Kay is an aspiring artist (aren’t we all) but she’s going to school for it in her hometown Chicago, I mentioned to Hobo that I knew Shepard Fairey, ya know the OBEY/HOPE yeah tTat guy, yeah I met him years ago when he was operating of San Diego and pulled a favor to get a tour and some time for Kay, Hobo and myself…
I was just as stoked as they were to be honest, as I love seeing an artist in their craft.
