This week I speak to L.C. (Leonard Crosky): artist, DJ and creator of the legendary Cannibal Flower monthly group show! As I have spoken about many times before, Cannibal Flower is where I got my start (along with many, many other artists in the underground LA art scene)! We discuss his early life in hip hop (creating what is probably the first ever hip hop opera), getting into collage art, working at a gallery and how he ended up creating Cannibal Flower, one of the most important group shows in the early to late 2000's art scene.
Also, a quick art life update.

the RAYMAR Painting award,
Victoria Olt Gallery Drawing award,
Yasha Young Projects Sculpture award,
Photography award,
Digital Art award,
and the Catherine K Gyllerstrom Emerging Artist Award.
There is a brand new jury panel this year so it’s a brand new chance to win!
As well as the whole host of cash and product prizes, winners will also be invited to exhibit in the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine exhibition at Haven Gallery in Northport, NY alongside 70 of the world’s best contemporary representational artists in October 2025.
Better yet - the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine team guarantee that they look at every single entry! This is a great way to get on their radar for future opportunities too. AND they also share many of the entries on their social media and in online blogs from now until entries close on 17th July.
