Swan Oyster Depot

This past Tuesday was TREAT YO SELF Tuesday & I finally made my way to Swan Oyster Depot. I learned about it from Anthony Bourdain's The Layover, & many of my friends vouched for its deliciousness. Needless to say... I had to go! It was a pretty serendipitous day as it started with a last minute art delivery to a customer in the Burning Man offices (whaaat?) & then a walk to Studio Gallery (for another art show double whaaaaat?), which just so happened to be 2 blocks north of Swan. Bam. Done & done.

When I got in line, there were three parties before me. I waited about 25 mins, but every moment was great. I made friends with the sweet folks around me & talked about architecture school, LA restaurants, & how hungry we all were.

 

I want to say that in the 2 hours I was in there, the staff knew more than 60% of their patrons by name. Awesome.

Scallops in olive oil, pepper & capers.

Combination seafood salad.

Next time, I'm getting oysters and clams. I did have oysters later that night at hog & rock though. Delicious.

Genevieve Santos Art Corner at Leanna Lin's Wonderland!

I am sooooo thrilled to announce my first solo show EVER! I'm taking over the corner at Leanna Lin's Wonderland in Eagle Rock, CA and filling it up with MONSTERS. Rawr!



I've been sewing fuzzy friends, scheming a mini-mural for the walls, and painting new monster paintings including one about a monster & little boy sharing a Twin Pop (hungry!). My pop-up shop will be there for 6 weeks, but I'll be there in ze flesh April 14th for the opening reception. I'd love to see your familiar faces :)
