This week in Los Angeles, our columnist Annie Armstrong hosted a party for her column Wet Paint in collaboration with artist Kiko Kostadinov’s clothing brand, Otto 958, as they released a new generation of the Wet Paint hat. At an unassuming taco restaurant in Hollywood, the gossipers and those gossiped about converged to dance the night away, scored to a rollicking soundtrack by artist Raúl de Nieves, and check out Annie’s zine of the “Art World’s Most Eligible Bachelors” created alongside Digital Counsel’s Gutes Guterman.
James Jackman was present to capture photographs of Wet Paint truly in the wild, which we share with you today.
