Here are a few photos taken from a project called 'L.A. Dope' by Shaun Bloodworth and GiveUpArt - all the shots were taken around Los Angeles and feature musicians from the L.A. scene including our own Flying Lotus and friends Gaslamp Killer, Matthew David, Ras G, Tokimonsta and Daedelus. These shots are just a taste.

A word about L.A. Dope:

"The Project is a self funded collaboration between Photographer Shaun Bloodworth and Design Studio GiveUpArt ( Stuart Hammersley ) who provided Art Direction. We have worked together in the past on all of Tempa's label releases and have done all design and photography on the Rinse mixes , as well as documenting the FWD>>London Dubstep scene . We spent a week in LA with the artists and at Low End Theory Club on the north eastern side of Downtown ,  as the first part of documenting the Electronic beatmakers working there."
