Deanna and Ed Templeton at Family, Los Angeles

The excellent Los Angeles book and record shop Family will host a double book launch, slideshow presentation and signing by Deanna and Ed Templeton, this Sunday, August 21 at 7:30 pm. The store is located at 436 N. Fairfax Ave (across from Canter's Deli). Ed Templeton will launch Teenage Kissers, published by Seems; Deanna Templeton will launch Scratch Your Name on my Arm, published by Schunck. Below are a selection of images from Scratch Your Name, which documents the peculiar new trend in which California teens have various brand logos stenciled on their bare skin and/or have famous surfers and skaters autograph their bodies.

To pre-order signed copies of either book, email: orders@familylosangeles.com. Family is glad to ship signed copies, or to hold for pickup.
