If you're headed out for a few shows, or if you're just looking for some pretty cool things to buy/see/eat/drink in downtown Phoenix we've got you covered.

Introducing Quick PHX.

You'll spot our paper guide on newsstands, counter tops, and coffee tables starting today and if you're lucky, throughout the year, as the info packed into our hand-held guide is enough to keep you busy for quite a while.

Included are profiles of local artists, guides to Downtown galleries and museums, shopping spotlights, dish recommendations, and a few rundowns on the night scene.

Of course, it all doesn't fit in the book. Check out our letterpress video with Nancy Hill of Gallery Hazel, and behind the scenes photos after the jump ...
