"LOCKED UP LA MESA"
high times and low humor in a crazy-ass mexican prison
One evening in the spring of 1974, Steve Peterson was busted in the hills outside Tijuana with 120 kilos of pot headed for San Diego. The next thing he knew, this carefree California surfer dude was headed for hard time inside Mexico's most notorious prison: La Mesa Penitentiary -- a surreal, violent, sexy place where the criminals called the shots.
On April 28th, 2012, Petra Gallerie takes you south of the border and back in time for a very special Last Saturdays event: "¡Una Noche En La Mesa!" In addition to a live reading by authors Steve Peterson and Eldon Asp, the evening will feature a multimedia art show of new works inspired by the characters, setting and events of the new memoir "Locked Up In La Mesa." Music, food, drinks and more!
Join us for an evening of high times and low humor inside Mexico's craziest penitentiary...

"LAST SATURDAY'S" CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON
Nerf gun modification art show
We've been having a lot of fun playin' around this year so keeping with that sensibility we decided
to incorporate some childhood memories into a grown up arena…well, kinda. Seemed like the obvious
direction to go with that particular set up.
It's all about the lifestyle over here! Art facilitates lifestyle. We love the remix and we know so do you!
So we're gonna take something familiar, Nerf, and spin it.
Petra Gallerie has invited a group of development artists ranging from video games, animation
and collectible toys to fashion and design to partake in this very tongue in cheek nod to a
brand that influenced most of our personal journeys.
"The latest round of designers working for the Nerf brand are doing some kick ass shit! Petra Gallerie messed
around with Nerf modification during our Halloween 2011 show, 'Spaceport' , and we're hooked!!",
says Snakebite Cortez, Director of Petra Gallerie / SORO Social Club;"That's why we're doing
it again. I'm stoked to see what these cats bust out for the show!"
Between now and March 26th, Petra and the S.S.C. are taking submissions from the public:
"There's a pretty cool sub-culture of Nerf Modifiers. We got a lot of our reference and inspiration
initially from them." Cortez adds, "Petra would like to extend an opportunity for more people to be
seen in a sweet spot like our gallery."

artist and author presents:
"ANGELS ARE ABOUND"
ORIGINAL PAINTINGS, REPRODUCTIONS AND BOOKS
7PM-11PM
Free Admission
From Brooklyn to The School of Visual Arts through the United States to the global experience, Karen found a home in Southern California where she cultivated her skills. Covering the spectrum of positions an artist can choose, Karen understands her connections to all things through her unparalleled history and education.
"Those that are truly capable with their craft play both roles of student and teacher," Says Snakebite Cortez, Petra Gallerie Director "and I see that Karen facilitates both positions with ease. I'm happy we can associate our home with such a talent. You could base a whole grad course curriculum around what she knows and has done. It's validating to roll with her... Plus, she illustrates strong, sexy ass ladies, and I'm totally down with that!"
Karen Locke will be showcasing multiple themes of her art. "Angels are Abound" features her connection to the spirit world. With large original paintings available with limited edition reproductions and art books. "The Ponderings" is a whimsical look at the duality of femininity. Original illustrations with limited edition prints available.

Art Center College of Design Graduate, Gnomon School of Visual Effects Grad grand master, Axel Ortiz
evolves from a rich artistic history of kicking your ass…with a smile and a good attitude, Axel raises
the bar while reminding us how much fun art really is.
"Please, Wake Me for Duty Free" is a very limited edition print run of a small portion of Axel's
incredibly vast sketchbook pages from countless editions, recording his creative journey thus far.
Petra Gallerie and the S.S.C. (SORO Social Club) are proud to debut this special edition produced
by a local talent. His association with Black Velvet Studios and Lightbox www.lightboxplanet.com
only continues to validate his art and business decisions to roll with fellow creators who challenge
each other to grow and move in progressive directions…while remaining individuals who carve
their own paths.
"I want this show to be more then me just signing and selling editions of my book, I want people to join
in the fun, like 'Draw,Bitch', and create with me for a night. 1D,2D,3D, we should work in whatever way
is fun and right for the event.", Axel requested.
So we're inviting you to come back and not only celebrate an amazing artist and his publication, but an
inspiring individual that wants to share the spot light with his friends and fans.
