Susan Cianciolo, Queen of Hearts

We're sort of kicking ourselves for missing out on "The Woman of the Crowd," a multi-media collaboration between Cone Denim and designer/artist/musician/filmmaker Susan Cianciolo that hit New York and L.A. last fall. (Susan handcrafted a jeans collection exclusively from Cone Denim, including remnant swatches from the turn of the 20th century; see below for one of her sketches.) Lucky for us, Susan's soon to grace both cities with "Queen of Hearts," an exhibit that opens in New York on February 7 and travels to L.A. during Fashion Week. But L.A. girls and boys can get a sneak peek starting this Saturday at a gallery show called "Get Hurt" at Tiny Creatures (628 N. Alvarado St. in Echo Park), where Susan will be sharing sketches and photos of inspiration for her upcoming perfume and clothing line.

Curated by L.A. art-punk duo No Age, "Get Hurt" also features work by our much-adored Ashley Macomber, Jennifer Clavin of Mika Miko, Ron Rege Jr. of Lavender Diamond, Devendra Banhart, and a bunch more artists. The show runs till March 9, with an opening reception this Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m. Oh, and the links for each band a couple sentences back? You should click now and download/listen to all available songs, since they're generally way more exciting than most stuff you'll hear anywhere else.
