Know When to Fold ’Em

Little Paper Planes at Tinlark Gallery

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s … Little Paper Planes.

What the heck is the online art store doing here? Unfolding their new letterpress print e-shop, Little Paper Press, of course.

Making her foray into affordable, limited-edition pieces, founder/curator Kelly Lynn Jones assembled ten artists including Gavin Bunner, Alyson Fox, and Maxwell Loren Holyoke-Hirsch for the debut collection of ten pieces, each measuring five inches by seven inches, produced in strict runs of 100. A new artist will join the crew every month.

Launching with a show Saturday at Tinlark in Hollywood, the original pieces and framed letterpress prints will be on display; multiples will be up for sale.

So be ready for takeoff.

Exhibit, Saturday-October 4 (reception, Saturday, 6-9 p.m.), at Tinlark Gallery, Crossroads of the World, 6671 Sunset Boulevard, between Highland and Cherokee Avenues, suite 1512, Hollywood (323-463-0039 or tinlark.com). To see artists, go to littlepaperplanes.com.
