Art Boutiki is the brainchild of comic book publisher Dan Vado. Founded in 1986, SLG Publishing has launched the careers of many well known comic book creators including Jhonen Vasquez, Evan Dorkin, Gene Luen Yang and John “Derf” Backderf. Located in a large downtown San jose warehouse, The Art Boutiki itself was born of the aftermath of two great crashes, the first being when a drunk driver smashed into the front of the building and destroyed the front half of it. Then came The Great Recession of 2008 which made the need for a giant warehouse less of a need. Rather than abandon the space The Vado Family decided to try and do something a little bit different with it.
