Today we add two shops to the guide. One is in LA and the other is in San Diego. And they don't sell any of the same items really. But they both do a fantastic job of blending art and commerce.

For its part, Family in LA is stuffed with art books, DVDs, comic books, zines, prints and other creative output. The art books alone are worth the visit, as they represent some of the most interesting work being done by up and coming artists around the world.

Igloo (coming to us by way of suggestion) explores under the radar art, particularly that of California surf and skate culture. Prints, photo books, painted decks, T-shirts, even buttons are wonderfully creative in a completely unpretentious sort of way.

Both shops offer online shopping for a limited number of items.
