Art Walk: SMILE by Brooklyn Joy

This Saturday, April 11, is the Pomona Art Walk and LOFTon2nd is proud to feature “Smile” – a Photography Exhibit by Brooklyn Joy.

Hand drawn in water color pencils, painted with the artist’s very own saliva. He’s about his craft but most importantly bringing people together, as that is where he is truly inspired.

The ambitious artist actively uses his P.R. & promotional skills from his nightlife as a DJ, to fuse arts, food, and music at his monthly event known as Taco Disco. Lucky for you, Hairface is hosting an interactive solo show on:
