Closing the Gap

If you need any further proof that "art" is the new "krumping," just check out this GINORMOUS billboard on the corner of Hollywood and Highland. Chuck Close? Really, Gap? Chuck Close in a Philip Glass T-shirt? "Old" meet "Creepy and Old." And how's that working for them? It's just odd to me that in our 'tween-obsessed culture, an ugly, 60-something man can still be the spokesperson for a youth-oriented company. If that's the case, art and artists must really be all the rage, right? Well, come on down to the WOW Storefront Gallery and decide for yourself! We got art galore! (Photo by Steven Corfe)
