announces: Inked Souls: Customized Sneaker and Art Exhibition featuring 35
local, national and international leaders in the Pop Surrealist movement. Each
featured artist will customize one pair of AKA Blank Tagür sneakers along with
one painting on canvas.
More than ever before, Art Whino pushes the
envelope, bringing the DC art world a new and exciting type of art, the art of
customization. Each artist was given a pair of blank AKA Tagur sneakers to bring
to life with their unique style and perspective. These invited artists bring
thirty-five unique styles to the table, which range from urban graffiti to
traditional oil on canvas, from abstract to figurative. The range of style and
viewpoint contrasted with the with the identical starting point of sneakers
promises to deliver an exciting look at the different minds of these talented
artists.
This is the first of many customized art shows Art Whino has
planned in the near future. You don’t want to miss this one!
The event is
FREE and open to the public.

Resident DJ Lil'e
 Black Cats Resident DJ Lil'e, aka Erin Myers,
specializes in rare extended mixes and one-hit wonders whose names have been
swallowed by time. Remember Flesh for Lulu, Kon Kan or Anything Box? But Lil'e
does not sacrifice a solid dance floor just to showcase her extensive record
collection.
Lil'e, 32, who started "Right Round" in 2002, focuses on
skillful mixing, but she still finds a few moments of each song to step back
from her mixer and do a little dancing herself. When she plays at other venues
such as Felix or Saint-Ex, Lil'e strays far from the '80s, breaking out
underground hip-hop, big beat and assorted electronica.
