Video – Jarritos Downtown LA Artwalk Event Written on July 29, 2010.
The Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk and Jarritos seem to go hand in hand, as the perfect opportunity to showcase the “Flavor City” art submissions amongst a thriving Angeleno audience.
On July 8, 2010, the artists and judges came together in one room to celebrate the announcement of the winners and runners up at the Bang Gallery. Thousands of patrons strolled through the gallery, grabbed a cup of Jarritos and listened to the latest spins of LA’s top Djs.

2nd place: Brandon Blazerd
3rd-a place: Lori Ashcraft
Lori invented the Rocket Shoe in 1976. If she’d known who to contact to get a prototype built, this would be quite a different bio. But she was only 9 years old, so she tucked away the drawing of the tennis shoe with pop out wheels and multicolored exhaust, and went back to playing football and helping her dad make things in the garage.
She majored in Advertising/Mass Communication and worked for Condé Nast’s House and Garden magazine in New York for a couple of years before heading back to California to work as an Art Department Coordinator. Despite working on a number of films such as The Big Lebowski, Superman, A Walk in the Clouds, Virtuosity and One Fine Day, Lori became bored and started creating art for friends which led to some freelance design for Sega GameWorks and then another company and another, until hoola design was launched in 1999.
Beyond her graphics skills Lori does a respectable moonwalk. She is no longer bored at work.
3rd -b Place : Veronica Oliva
