We're very sad to hear of the passing of Ian Whitcomb, an extraordinary musician, writer, historian, and a very kind soul. We met when asked by Rhino Records to design the CD package for Ian's tribute to the White Star Orchestra, the band that famously went down with the Titanic. It was a joy to work with such a passionate musical force, and we were all delighted when our little album won a 1998 Grammy Award for our package design and a nomination for Ian's great liner notes. Heaven just got one hell of a ukulele player. Rest in peace, Ian.

Hey folks. Anybody in the Studio City/Sherman Oaks area sick of their own cooking yet? Here’s an idea, call our good friends at The Bellwether for some curbside pickup. Besides their truly incredible food, they’ve also got grocery items and wine! Right now we all need more wine. ;) Call them at 818-285-8184 or email [email protected] It’s an important time to support our restaurant and hospitality folks. They really need the support. Thanks!

Helms Bakery is excited to host a special photography show entitled Square Off/LA during the Culver City Art Walk and Roll Festival on Saturday, October 12th from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm in the Washington Corridor Gallery.

Square Off/LA is an intimate portrait of Los Angeles as seen through a square lens by over 50 local photographers. Its intent is to inspire and engage viewers to observe life and landscape in Los Angeles from a slightly different perspective.

Each photographer will exhibit 3 photographs (15 x 15 inches) that will sell for a fixed price of $100 each, with 50% of the proceeds supporting The Culver City Arts Foundation for local art programs and projects to inspire the public and help creatives turn dreams into reality.

This is an opportunity to own a fine art print, sponsor artists, and support The Culver City Arts Foundation.
