Ana Bagayan’s Lunch Bunch

When she's not selling out shows around the world, Ana Bagayan packs her car to the brim with homemade sandwiches and snacks and makes regular rounds to Los Angeles' homeless population with her Lunch Bunch crew. The non-profit organization makes healthy and practical lunches, often times with other amenities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other hygiene related products, and distributes them around to the down and out folks that the Lunch Bunch group has gotten to know these last few months.

To fund a their next outing, Bagayan has set up an eBay auction with original art, sketches, and limited edition prints from a cast of world renowned artists. All the auctions begin at a low starting price of twenty dollars, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to supplies for the Lunch Bunch. Check out a few of the works from the auction here on Hi-Fructose.

Gil Bruvel’s work seems to be both modern and craft movement inspired at the same time. They are made of hundreds of parts; intricate, yet, when those parts are viewed from a distance, are smooth and cohesive.
