And below is an interview with Steve Sattler of the Ether Cult.
Weapons of the Ether Cult
Interview: Steven Sattler
by Nathan Cartwright
Steven Sattler is an Idaho grown, Anarchist prone artistic mega-beast. From dodging the draft by starving himself to challenging skinheads in small towns in his white washed state, he is a true warrior of visual persuasion. He stands for chaos, but has an innate ability to make it all look so good in his mixed media compositions. Recently, I had the privilege to visit his studio and chat about his amazing creations and ideas about a New World Order.
Nathan: Steven, I often say there are two types of artists who thrive in The Hive; the illustrators and the mad scientists. Your work is definitely in the latter category. What influences have led you to the Sattler I know?
Steven: An early realization of the horrific state of adult life led me to art as a means of creating alternate realities. In grade school, comic books and sci-fi led me to the study of the aryan mythos, the possibility of real supermen was intriguing. Then I was introduced to surrealism by a nun who gave me a holy card that was by Dali, (I’m sure that she knew not what poisons she had let loose), eventually the army tried to send me to my death, making me a permanent enemy of the state. Finally zen and Krishnamurti put me on a quest for absolute freedom, something that appealed to my inherent non-conformist bent. My ongoing influences would be surrealism and it’s offshoots, except the current drivel that is pop surrealism, (I’m sure Breton is spinning in his grave), and French academic art and teachings, particularly J.L. Gerome. 200
NC: What are some of the obstacles you faced growing up in (the inland northwest) as an artist?
Steven: In the northwest, if you call yourself an artist you had better be able to paint signs or do horse portraiture or will likely get shot. They don’t hold well to the con game that is modern art. Growing up in a hot rod environment, an artist was the guy who could pinstripe or do flames. My dad’s advice was “you have a good eye for detail, you should be a forger or a counterfeiter”.
NC: Tell me about the Ether Cult.
Steven: Ethercult is an attempt to subvert the capitalist spectacle by using its own means against it. It’s a design collective using art as a weapon to confront the public in unexpected places, through clothing, furniture, graphic design, sounds, etc, anywhere that we can produce unsettling, unsellable, original statements of revolt. A current example would be ethercult couture’s invisible red carpet ensemble, an outfit so offensive it would have to be pixelated from head to toe. Ethercult is attempting to be a community college of pataphysics. A training ground for sedition. Our motto is ” We don’t want your money, your time, or your beliefs. Everything’s perfect, stay as you are.”
NC: How does art and economy tie together with this idea?
Steven: The only way to be avant-garde today is to remove money entirely from the art equation.
NC: Any new secret projects lined up in your mad scientist laboratory?
Steven: The main things would be a chess set reflecting the modern human beast (each piece being life sized mixed media sculptures), a new line for ethercult couture, a piece for next months bee-rotica show at the Hive entitled ” The persecution of Dennis Hopper in the 11th dimension” another anti celebrity rant, and continuing to hone my art skills, the better to realize any inspiration that comes my way.
Both lines of clothing that look equally at home in an art gallery as they do on the human body. Also on the display in the gallery are examples of Iranian street graffiti. You can see examples at the Crewest website:

Four New Boutiques Open Since Last Fashion Walk
Now while all four of these stores have opened in the past month - which comes to about one new store a week - all but one have participated in past Art and/or Fashion Walk events.
First - KAPSOUL - had a sneak preview at last month's first Fashion Walk - and had a line out the door of eager buyers, despite their then limited selection. Now, though, the store is fully stocked
KAPSOUL 6th Street between Main and Spring
Cell 818-693-4180 Contemporary & vintage clothes, sunglasses
Next, 1-Man's Trash has long been located in Downtown Los Angeles but only recently has been an exhibitor at past Art and Fashion Walks. This, then, will be the Fashion Walk debut of their new store which will feature Erik Dixon's one of a kind re-worked vintage pieces for men, women and children. Among those who have worn his line are Usher Raymond, Ellen Degeneres, and Carmen Elektra. Also featured in the store is a carefuly curated selction of vintage clothing.
1-Man's Trash 651 S. Main Street Vintage inspired, re-made vintage And vintage clothing 818-355-1130
Christina Wheeler has also shown at past Downtown Art Walks before taking the plunge and opening her own store. She has been primarily showing her handbags and hats - but has recently returned to her roots as a clothing designer.
Symbiotic Form
www.symbioticform.blogspot.com 651 Main Street
213-631-6971 Vintage inspired woman's hand bags, hats, clothes and jewelry
In contrast, the all vintage store - ZLB - just appeared a couple weeks ago at 7th and Main with a selection of unusual vintage designs culled from the owner's purchases all over the US - and Europe.
ZLB Main and 7th NW Corner on 7th Side of Building Vintage Clothing of every kind and every price
We will have more on each of these stores and their owners shortly - but besides the fact the are few - if any - retail districts where no clothing stores are closing - I suspect that only on Downtown's Fashion Walk are new stores opening on a regular basis.

The Hidden Treasure of Purses & Handbags on Broadway
http://blogdowntown.com/2009/08/4616-hidden-treasure-chanelli-on-broadway
Below is a recent blogdowntown post on one of the stores open during not just Fashion Walk - but 7 days a week on Historic Downtown's Broadway.
Hidden Treasure: Chanelli on Broadway
By KATIE KAY
Published: Thursday, August 20, 2009, at 02:50PM
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Anytime one adventures with Brady Westwater they'll need to expect the unexpected. After all, he knows each and every back corner hat shop, the interesting cat lady on Main St and in this case Mark, owner and importer of Chanelli at 625 S. Broadway.
Brady is Downtown's answer to the Pied Piper -- only with a twisted sense of great business and development. As a Downtown boutique owner myself, I am always excited to see what Brady has brewing for the neighborhood.
I was called to Chanelli because of the interesting stock Mark carries. His family makes beautiful leather goods in Turkey, mostly for the European market.
Nestled on a block of Broadway with $2 socks and Quinceañera dresses, I never expected to find treasures like his. The handbags and jackets are made of the most beautiful leathers, unique designs and high-quality stitching. They are produced in the same factories as huge luxury brands with fancy 5-letter Italian names.
Retail in these times is tough and Mark is making the most of it by offering the popular goods for any Broadway shopper -- handbags for $29.99 -- but if you have the chance to stop in, make sure you ask to see the imported offerings. You won't be disappointed, and you'll get to experience the rush of finding treasures buried right beneath your nose.
Katie Kay is co-owner and designer of SKINGRAFT, an up-and-coming design house based in Downtown LA and director of ShopHuntersandGatherers.com. She can be contacted at KatieKay@SkingraftDesigns.com

This blog will cover the daily events of all things fashion within Historic Downtown Los Angeles, all Fashion Week events anywhere in Downtown, the Third Thursday monthly Downtown Fashion Walk, and the daily Fashion Walk that links together the more than thirty fashion related businesses on Main, Spring and Broadway in Historic Downtown.
The second Downtown Fashion Walk is this Thursday September 17th from 5:30 PM to 10 PM, but most stores will be open by noon. The Fashion Walk website - www.downtownfashionwalk.com - will be updated Tuesday night and the new map will be on the website by Wednesday noon.
Lastly, two storefronts and several spaces in two buildings are still available for designers or dealers to sell - or display - their merchandise. There are also opportunities for students or non-profits to participate.
