It’s a theme that boutique owner and fashion designer Neely Shearer puts forth in her new book “In Heroes We Trust: Street Artists and Their Heroes.”The book showed work of street artists from around the world, such as Okuda, Robbie Conal and Chase. The tome also quoted artists' views on heroism and people they found heroic.

Knock Knock’s newest book, In Heroes We Trust: Street Artists and Their Heroes, hit shelves this summer. In Heroes We Trust features the work and inspirations of art’s unsung heroes—street artists from around the world. In Heroes We Trust’s namesake is a boutique, owned and run by the book’s visionary and curator, Neely Shearer. The boutique nestles itself a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of Abbot Kinney (and down the street from Knock Knock’s Venice Beach, California abode).

In Heroes We Trust is the (great) name of the great new shop I just discovered right around the corner from Abbot Kinney Boulevard on Westminster. You can't miss it because the street art on the sidewalks leads you right to it. There may be artists right there on the sidewalk making their art when you stroll up, as there was when I did.

Another new spot high on the radar of local designers is In Heroes We Trust, just off Abbot Kinney on Westminster. It showcases a mix of independent labels, vintage finds, stone jewelry, hula hoops, mini dreamcatchers, all the essentials. If all of that isn't enticing enough, the custom murals inside by Chase and Isabelle Alford-Lago are certainly worth a visit.
