Runs through Dec. 8 – “”Street Creatures”” Espresso Roma

Ever wonder why those little Pocket Events Guides look better — a lot better — than lazy college flyers are supposed to look? That’s because University Centers stumbled across Earl Warren College media/computing major Jesse Chapa to work his Adobe Illustrator magic on each meticulous page.

Chapa and co-worker Chi Hong, who runs campus-event broadcast Video Connect, have taken a few pieces from their more personal, hand-crafted collections to display in Price Center’s coffee shop, kicked off Nov. 15 with a DJ/food/beer extravaganza.

A neat little clump of framed work lines the back wall, including a postage stamp-collaged octopus floating ‘cross a rasta prism called “”Flying Away/Submerging”” (by Chapa) and shiny red oil with ballpoint landscape scribbles called “”My Favorite Red Shirt”” (by Hong). Chapa’s more design-oriented art is starkly contrasted by Hong’s scrawled forms — a magnetic pairing to further steam your double latte. (SW)
