COFFEE SITUATION
BIO: Name's Kim Herrera Cruz, and I make delicious coldbrew that comes in 2 flavors!!
Coffee Situation pretty much started off as a simple idea to try selling iced coffee at Echo Park Rising, which I had always wanted to try it out, just for shits & giggles! So I was like, you know what, let's do it! If no one buys it, I'm not gonna die! So I gave it a shot.
So check it out, these coldbrews consist of pure filtered water and La Llave coffee, which I brew for 16-18 hours and then proceed to flavor. Abuelita Coldbrew is made with a Mexican brand of hot chocolate that comes in brick form, called Abuelita. You make this by melting it in a pot of milk, (however, I use water instead, considering its coldbrew, and refrigerate until it's completely cold before adding to the brew) and its just delicious, not to mention pretty traditional. Trust me, every Hispanic knows about Abuelita!! My other flavor, Rosewater Honey Coldbrew, is exactly what it sounds like Rosewater. Honey. Coldbrew. Nothin else!! You can taste every ingredient in perfect balance, its my personal favorite and it is pure magic!!

WILD ABANDON DESIGN
BIO:Once upon a time there lived a little girl whose whole world took place in fairy tales. Fantastical creatures surrounded her and the dancing shadows of trees whispered whimsical stories that wove in her mind, blurring the lines between dream and reality.
As I grew up, my childhood world infused into my art. I love to create worlds and stories behind my art that are surreal, quirky, and darkly comedic; my background in film infuses my work with a spirit of theatricality and whimsy.
I draw inspiration from natural science, wildlife, tall tales, fables, vivid dreams, mythology, oddities, raucous celebrations, and well-designed spaces. I embrace a mindset of: if we look at the world through a child’s perspective, all things remain magical, full of awe and wonderment.
Elsbeth Mumm is a child of California currently living in East LA with her husband and their dog. When Elsbeth isn't creating pieces of artwork she is running her own styling business for commercial and interiors, Wild Abandon Design. She has a unicorn tattoo and loves a good cup of coffee.
"Sacred Menagerie" art show happening June 8th at Stories Cafe https://storiesla.com/

CINDY ZELL
BIO: My name is Cindy Zell and I make sculptural wall hangings and accessories in Los Angeles. WKNDLA (I pronounce it "Weekend L.A.") is named after my favorite time and place, inspired by when I first started and was making things during the weekends, dreaming about doing this full-time one day. Now it's how I fill most of my days and some of it is also spent making large-scale fiber art.
My mission for WKNDLA is to create artful objects that are individually handmade with care and accessible to everyone. I am happiest when I can help bring a little bit of beauty into someone else's home! Every single piece of brass is hand cut, bent, soldered, filed, sanded, polished, and coated in my garage studio. They are then assembled using organic or sustainably-sourced natural fibers.

MORE CREATIVES TO ANNOUNCED...
Calling All Creatives!
The most important part of Sub Folk is the Collective - and that's you! We're thrilled to launch Sub Folk Collective with an awesome event and collaboration with our peeps/locals, but we want to do more. Are you an artist who would like to show their work? A musician who wants to try out some new material in an intimate setting? Or do you just make or do cool stuff that you want to share with the world? All of the above, please! We encourage you to reach out and share links to your work/soundcloud/Instagram/etc. - or shoot us an email with what you'd like to contribute. We're also open to collaborating with people who may have idea for an event or a space that they'd like to get off the ground; our goal (beyond full service interior design) is to foster a sense of community and support for Los Angeles area artists, makers and creatives. We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you at one of our next events!
