Have you met Ashkahn?

The colourfully whimsical and charmingly witty ASHKAHN greeting cards are now on the shelves in Room 2046. Ashkahn Shahparnia is the self proclaimed stationery prince and creative mind behind the brand, based in downtown Los Angeles. Shahparnia loves bananas, "poopheads," coconuts, burritos, 1985 300d Mercedes, beer, gold, silver, centrefolds, neon, pastels, open bars, Los Angeles, and tiki drinks. Many of those themes can be found in his artwork.

L.A., despite its notoriously bad traffic, has some wonderful architecture — thanks to Richard Neutra, John Lautner, Pierre Koenig, Charles and Ray Eames, Craig Ellwood, etc.
