Empire Seven Studios (E7S) is an Art Gallery/Boutique located in the North district of Downtown San Jose, CA. Founders Carlos Araujo & Jennifer Ahn established E7S in 2008, and since then has become a beacon to an underground art culture in the South Bay. Known for housing great talents and featuring art exhibition openings every 2nd Friday of the month, E7S has come a long way from its early begi

nnings as a project with friends. The consistent hard work over the years is a testament to the vigorous tasks and efforts played by each individual involved from the start. What is now our life’s work is a privilege to share and enjoy with the public. E7S humbly pays tribute to the hard working artist; sacrificing day in and day out to push their work. This is a reminder that it’s because of them we are here and we will never conform or settle. Instead, E7S will continue to grow as was intended from the very beginning but staying rooted within its community. We would like to give a big thanks to all of you who have been supportive in this ongoing experience. E7S is a place where good company and friendships are intertwined and the Arts are forever appreciated.

Visual artist, Ton Mak, is best known for her series flabby creatures; FLABJACKS. Ton began creating various characters and narratives after graduating from University College London as an Anthropology student.

Tying together her love for art, ethnography, and storytelling, FLABJACKS are often visual representations of the seemingly mundane and an everyday fantasy world.

To date, FLABJACKS has collaborated with brands such as Nike, Gucci, Grana, Swatch, Pop Mart, Legos, and Vans. Currently, her studio is in Shanghai and San Francisco.

Reminiscing Graffiti and graphic design just about a year ago we produced the 9th edition of San Jose Walls. We always miss the people when it’s over, but we appreciate connecting with the public who gets to enjoy the final product for years to come.

We currently have a few book catalogs of these incredible artists, hats, sticker, prints in store, and original artworks on online.

This body of work is a series of color pencil illustrations that share the everyday thoughts running through our minds and offer positive reminders to keep going.

Additionally, there will be a few larger paintings that are out of this world, literally a transport to a whimsical world with the cutest creatures.

The colorful messaging is playful and perfect for all ages, so please feel comfortable bringing the kids and family.
