Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Pop Surrealist or "Lowbrow" artist Todd Schorr mixes Bruegel and Bosch, Duck-and-Cover and Scopes, Max Fleischer and "The Mummy," to come up with paintings you can lose yourself in, and in the process, come to understand Schorr's worldview.
Despite his popularity and talent, Schorr is only now getting a retrospective in Southern California, at a new show at the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of Art and Design.
Schorr invited Off-Ramp host John Rabe to the opening to talk about his work, and what it means to him and the genre get a retrospective.
