And You Thought Art In The Streets Was Done

Artist Eats: Justin Van Hoy
Food and art are two of our favorite things over at TWBE, so we decided to start a new series called “Artist Eats” that interviews artists about their favorite place to eat. Kicking off the series is Los Angeles-based artist Justin Van Hoy, who is known for his colorful designs and rad gallery.
“At the moment I would say I have two favorites,” Justin answers. “Most days I don’t go any further West than Lincoln Heights, where my office is. So these two picks are minutes from the house, office and gallery.”
