Walked down Sawtelle today and noticed a new spot I hadn’t seen before. Inside was a dude painting amidst a wall full of paintings. Turns out the guy’s name is Norm and the spot, The Norm Maxwell Gallery is his.

Norm’s a cool cat and has previously done tons of production work for some major players including the likes of Janet Jackson, Lil Jon, & Iggy Pop. Like most of us, he didn’t enjoy having to answer to someone else, so he started up the gallery. Rumor has it that the gallery also hosts musical events. For now be sure to check out the spot next Friday (09/21/07) for The Microscope (see flyer below).
