I was privileged to be able to meet the owner and founder of Obscurity Arts , Josif Palmoulsos, on a recent tour of his live/work space.
This plain white warehouse hides a lot of treasures.
Upon entering the building I was greeted not only by this awesome guy,
but also by this guy!
Josif bought this warehouse with the idea of providing artists not only with a place to work and live, but also as a place to share information and work together with other artists and was kind enough to share a tour of this space with my friend, Lennie, and me.

The most interesting part of the tour was seeing how Josif created his sculptures.
Turns out that Josiph is also an amazing painter
Working away in the back studio of the warehouse,
happily let us invade her studio space.
A few of her whimsical pieces.
Even the bathroom was delightful!
Soon this warehouse will no longer be bare and hard to find
For soon
Trader Joe bags, cardboard tubes, and pizza boxes
Will soon scream out ART for all to see.
It was a wonderful privilege visiting Obsurity Arts.
And just in case you know of an artist looking for a home
Josif has an empty studio!
Visiting an artist's studio is always such an inspirational trip. How wonderful you got to see this!
