Hybrid Roots joined forces with Viva LA Foodies and LA Street Food for their event, Taking it to the Streets at Meltdown Comics.

The event featured Los Angeles artists for a worthy cause, the LA Regional Food Bank. Ti2tS’s supplied a double punch with food trucks galore as well as great music by CAV3 and DJ Denkym.

Check out below for a breakdown of the artists that participated and a quick glance of their work featured in the show.

Taking it to the Streets
Curated by Marissa Harrington for Hybrid Roots
A BIG thank you to Photographer, Adam Stoller, for helping Hybrid Roots.

Estevan Oriol
Photographer/Director
LA Woman Series
We were honored to have one of SA Studio’s top artists. The series of images displayed during the event comes from Estevan’s new book, LA Woman. Oriol snaps intimate moments of LA’s finest ladies, giving us a glimpse into the raw and glamorous side of LA women that would even make Jim Morrison blush.

Eyeone
Artist
Follow that truck! The guessing game starts with Eyeone’s series of various food trucks around Los Angeles. Eyeone’s vibrant shots pay homage to the Roach Coach forefathers of the food truck trend.

Joe Biscoe
Photographer + Artist
From paint to photos, Joe Briscoe captures it all. Mediums at play he presented 2 paintings, one of which functioned to a tick tock beat that would make Flavor Flav jealous. Check it out:

Meex
Artist
Mesmerizing the attendees with his live painting skills, Meex goes from cans to pens within a blink of an eye. His work plays well with Angelenos and their city knowledge. See if you can guess these locations below:

Suzie Morales
Artist
I don’t do pretty
Suzie Morales may not do pretty but she sure can do maravilloso. Utilizing the rawness of your average skateboard deck, Suzie transforms the blank into a masterpiece. La Flor reinforces the fact that skate decks aren’t just made for trucks and wheels anymore but for walls.

HotcoatLA: Ryan Wood + Marissa Harrington
Surfboard Collaboration
HotcoatLA is bringing every surfer and artist’s dream to reality by making the surfboard the new canvas. Mulholland never looked so good as it does featured on this slick black surfboard that would make Tim Burton catch a few waves. The temptation to ride this art might drive one insane.

DoubleDs
Is it real or is it fake? Oh no, not his name, I’m referring to his triptych that presented a thought that crosses every woman’s mind at some point or another…is that Louie real? Well, Double D makes you ponder that exact thought showing you that really, is there a difference?

C maybe for cookie but in this case he shows us that its perspective. C can be whatever you want it to be. It’s not just a letter anymore…

Dino
Artist + Apparel Customization
So you call yourself an individual but you still are wearing the same shoes and hats as everyone else? Well then, let me introduce you to Dino. A graffiti artist with a tailoring for custom apparel and shoes, Dino will have you looking fly in no time.

Roman | UBYK
Musician & Artist
Performer in the utmost right, UBYK uses his talents for mixed media to give this ensemble center stage. Shredded gay porn has never looked so beautiful. Maybe that’s what gives this piece that extra sparkle.

Mikee
Artist, Apparel Customization
He’s got his vans on but they don’t look like sneakers. Mikee’s custom vans will have you lining up for your own kicks without the screaming. Taking old school to new and giving you something that will have your friends talking (or tweeting) about until they get their own.

Andrew Hamlin
Photographer
Guatemala: Series of images
Photographer, Andrew Hamlin, documents his recent visit to Guatemala. His adventure will melt your heart when you see the innocence captured in his series of photographs.

Erik Maki
Craftsman + Artist
Maki Longboards
More over Gepetto, there’s a new man in town, Erik Maki. Woodworking has gone to the next level with his line of custom longboards. Erik’s dedication to craftsmanship is prevalent upon first glance (or touch) of his skatedeck triptych and his gorgeous Alaias board. Classic and raw, these boards will last you a lifetime.

Davey Detail
DTLA Designs
Street art never looked so good on canvas. Part psychedelic and tribal motifs, you can see motion in Davey’s swirling tree. To see Davey in action, check out his videos here.

Special thank you to the artists, friends and attendees that helped make this event a success.  Check back soon for the next event. It’s one you will not want to miss.
