LA EVENTS: Hill City Foto (P)rent Sale

Folks, we have an artist in our midst and if you have even one bare wall,Iencourage you to show this man your support. Writer-photographer Adam Tillman-Young is selling some of his artistic prints in an indefinite sale – and these aren’t your average photographs. A quick perusal of his website will attest to this.

Aside from the artists he’s been fortunate enough to capture, every print tells a story. Put one of these prints on your walls and expect your house guests to spark a conversation about it. Even more, this “striving” artist is honest enough to admit that this (p)rent sale was inspired not by his need for fame or glory, but because a brother needs to make rent – how can you not support that?

Check him and the sale out at Hill City Foto and enhance your personal art collection – it’s a win-win situation.
