As if things couldn’t get better… Announcing our Contraband 2 exclusive print release by the great Ben Naz ” LA LOVE”. Ben has created this special very limited and hand finished print especially for Contraband 2.

We will have two versions of “LA LOVE”, one hand finished in Gold and one in Silver. These exclusive prints again will be on a first come basis and a limit to one version per customer. 

We are thrilled to announce EELUS as an addition to our Contraband 2 show. This great UK talent will be premiering new originals for the first time at the show Aug 8th, just when things seemed they couldn’t get any better.
