Excellent service when ordering a book. The book was shipped quickly to me and arrived sooner than expected. Book was described as new and it truly was new, still in the publisher's plastic wrap. Great value for a somewhat hard to find book that has been sold out at the publisher for several years. The book was packed securely with bubble wrap within a very sturdy shipping box. I received exceptional service from this Gallery and am more than satisfied with my purchase. A++++ in every way. read more

Hyaena Gallery - Books, Mags, Music & Video Near Me - Burbank, California

We were actually in the neighborhood for House of Secrets next door, but once I saw a painting of Divine in the window I swore I'd hit them up once we were finished with HoS. This place is a gold mine of bizarre, morbid mixed media art; I don't even know where to begin. The walls are completely covered in things like paintings of intercourse between people with animal heads, scenes of murders, three-dimensional vampire pieces, portraits that look like they were done by someone hallucinating on mushrooms, and works inspired by historic figures, the Virgin Mary, and circus sideshow acts. One day I shall own one of their erotic prints of Lobster Boy. This I vow. Other pieces included mounted zombie heads, flesh rotting off the skull. There was even a decaying head and torso with a light installed inside the ribcage, illuminating the remaining skin and meat clinging to the bones. All made with latex, rubber, and plastic, of course. Bought a ceramic tiki mug for $6 and tacked on a baggie of "Strangely Delicious Spicy Peanut Brittle with Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt" ($5). My god, this stuff was astoundingly wonderful -- brittle was crunchy and not too hard, covered in chocolate, with each flavor present yet not overwhelming. They use a smart phone with a swipe reader (Square?) for purchases with credit card and you sign with your finger. Receipts can be e-mailed or texted to you. The guy working the counter (had a mostly shaved scalp except for the long, narrow mane of black hair he had growing from the top of his head) was very cool and seemed to appreciate our enthusiasm for the gallery's artwork on display. This might just be my favorite gallery -- a very welcome, unexpected find. read more

I have been going here for a few years now. If you like to BUY art this place is for you as the gallery truly believes in making the work accessible to those who really want it. They will take payments (don't forget to make 'em!) and the owner is super friendly and knowledgeable about the work. Also Hyaena has the best prices around. You can get original works from twenty bucks (sometimes less) to over a thousand. If you DON'T BUY art, but are looking for a very cool place to see some cutting edge stuff here in town, this place is also for you. There is ABSOLUTELY NO CRAPPY ART SCENE ATTITUDE here. I love that about this place. There is love and respect for all those that bring the same. I am a collector and have found this place to be nothing but professional, customer service oriented and most welcoming. The subject matter in the work varies greatly from art that is perfect for children to art that is very dark and adult. They have a new show every two weeks with a FREE reception that includes drinks and snacks and a chance to meet the artist. The receptions usually draw in other artists from the gallery and elsewhere, so you never know who you might meet if you come to the receptions. hyaenagallery.com is the website. As an art lover, I can not praise this place any higher. So cool and hip and fun and always welcoming to EVERYONE. If you don't like dark or adult subject matter, check it out anyway, because some of the work may bring you around to the dark side! ;-) I joke here, it is not all dark. It is very VERY fascinating. I am hooked. Check it out and support the arts in a very real way. read more

I don't live anywhere near Burbank California, so I have everything delivered that I find through his Instagram page. Every item has been fantastic, and his shipping & packaging is the best I've ever encountered. Worth it to follow him on Instagram, and worth every penny for what you spend at his shop. read more

Ha! Just read a review that Hyaena is mostly flowers? That dude is seriously blinded by stupidity. I've been going to this gallery for years and they show some of the best artists around! I also just took this picture and it looks like art to me. Dude, put a sweater on, walk past the beautiful flower display and see some awesome art like the rest of us. read more

Hyaena Gallery - Art...(just past flowers) - Books, Mags, Music & Video Near Me - Burbank, California

I've been visiting this gallery for more than 7 years. The owner, Bill Shafer, always has a wonderful selection of art, collectibles, and merchandise. I have a small collection of art and items I've purchased from here throughout the years. He treats his customers and artists wonderfully. The gallery has reception nights, with no entry fees, free drinks, free snacks, and a chance to meet the artists in person. There's now the added benefit of Ace of Vase located in the gallery, which gives me a chance to buy flowers and plants. Sheri runs Ace of Vase and is helpful in answering any questions. Brian often works the front desk of Hyaena, and is also a delight to interact with, as well as knowledgeable about art and travel. read more

Hyaena Gallery - Bill Shafer, owner of Hyaena Gallery. - Books, Mags, Music & Video Near Me - Burbank, California

If you are looking for something off the beaten track, then Hyaena Gallery is the place for you. Bill (the owner) has plenty of awesome things for you to choose from, and there is always a new show every few weeks. Stop by and see what they have to offer, you won't be disappointed! Feel free to check them out here: http://www.hyaenagallery.com read more

the most magical place in the universe. Hands down. I worship at the dark altar of the HYAENA!!!!! Thank you Bill. Thank you indeed! read more

Just posted this same review in Google maps so I figured I'd let all know here as well: Amazingy gallery and store. Curator is incredibly knowledgeable and the art is of the EXCELLENT variety. There are also books and floral arrangements available. Packs an awful lot to choose from in a relativy small space. Mother urging me not to spend money i don't have on art - I should not have moseyed in that place! Five well-deserved Stars! read more

Not your neighbors ART GALLERY, unless your neighbor is Ed Gein? This gallery offers cool artwork, at resoneable prices. Yes, the artwork can be very horror/sexually charged (not for everyone) but they also have unique pieces perfect for gifts to friends who like horror and sci-fi art. It's rare that a shop like this even exists anywhere other than online. SO do yourself a favor, drop by and check it out every once in a while, as they get new cool stuff all the time, and start collecting. read more

picked up some brittle next door and noticed this place. this is a very cool store. Its cool to just walk thru and to check out the art read more

This place is amazing! They have a large selection of "eccentric" yet interesting art. Some of the collection includes art from reputable names in the art, music, and animation worlds. I ended up getting 4 original animation cels and a London mask for less than 100 dollars. Insanity I tells you! They allow people to participate, enjoy, and appreciate art on a different level than that of the boring, contemporary art gallery. The owner, Bill, was immensely nice, approachable, and easy to talk to, sometimes it's hard to talk to people being somewhat introverted. I can't wait to go back to buy more pieces for myself and my friends that enjoy good art. Thank you for curating and keeping places like this open Bill! read more

I was introduced to this gallery via a friend, Gidget Gein, who was a featured artist there and where now he is represented by this gallery. I was blown away by the amazing works you could find here including things you may not consider finding such as criminal memorbilla and i mean genuine peices, unlike the ones youd find by going to sanchez in a dark alley. there is so much here that is offered including the amazing master artist Chris Peters, and Krys Kapp read more

Hyaena brings you art by up and coming as well as established artists at prices everyone can afford. If you're looking for something strange, unusual, humorous or provocative and still make rent I'd recommend Hyaena. Support art galleries and artists that don't alienate their collectors. read more

When I need a gift for someone- This is where I go! The art is amazing.... All different prices, styles, and sizes. You can find something for anyone. There are a ton of cool quirky books, and home goods. And the owner Bill is a really nice guy. He is super helpful and makes you feel welcome. They have a lot of art openings in here, and every time I have gone its a great crowd and a lot of fun... This place is a gem in Burbank! read more

Very interesting art. They call it "eclectic," which is misleading since it implies some kind of variety. The thing all of the art has in common is "disturbed." My favorite thing that I considered buying was an animated picture of a little boy saying, "cunt" to a little girl. Some of the more disturbed art works include a decaying skull, fetuses in jars, and serial killers painted alongside childhood themes like clowns and balloons. All of that is modest compared to the cadavre magazine porn where nearly naked girls are cuddling with and kissing corpses. It was a very cool look into a different kind of art scene. I like how if you were to go to a place like this in Alabama or some relic of the south, you would see disgusted and frightened looks, but here in southern cal, you have enough open minded people to come check out this kinda art without recoiling in horror. read more

As I just opened my account yesterday, I realize I'm a bit late to the Yelp scene. However, I would be doing the world a great injustice if I didn't give immediate attention to Hyaena Gallery. This is where I buy nearly all of my art! The owner is awesome(as well as being a bacon addict), the prices are reasonable and the art is beyond amazing. These are the artists who will be collected for decades to come because they have a REAL statement to make and they know how to say it with a unique point of view and most times with a great sense of humor. Join the "pack", you won't regret it! :D read more

I absolutely love this store, but I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked in recently. It has been turned into a freezing flower shop, with 80% of floral decor and 20% of cool horror stuff. I don't mean to be a negative nancy, but this combination of a flower boutique with a horror memorabilia shop DOES NOT WORK. It is an eye sore from the inside out, and sadly it no longer holds a unique place in my heart. I will not be going back. read more

Awesome little gothy/monster/zombie art shop! They have an interesting eclectic mix of artwork, not for the squeamish ones! We have bought some artwork there for our home before. There is a giant skeleton corpse hanging lamp there right now that I would so buy if I had the money!! They even have an artwork vending machine, so cool! Check it out next time your in the area! read more

Hyaena is an amazing place. Bill, the gallery owner, has an infectious passion and love for art. There's receptions for the shows that go on the wall usually on Saturday nights where you can meet the artists. No subject matter is out of bounds, and you'll find the humorous, the weird, and the disturbing, sometimes in the same piece. read more

This place is super cool. As an artist myself, I love going there for inspiration. If you are into the dark and creepy stuff or looking for a gift for friend who is, this place is for you. I've spoken with the owner Bill a couple of times and he seems like a really nice guy, too. He's very approachable and soft spoken. I've purchased t-shirts and some art from this place. They have candles, books and gifts, too. I wish I had a ton of money so I could buy some more. read more

Oh man. I want to give them like 10/5 stars... the pieces they have here are all amazing. I... want... ALL of them! They have interesting sculptures, artbooks, paintings, animation cels and other items. They have one cel from a show I adore (I'm not naming it because I want to go back and buy it myself, ha ha!) and that already gives them +5 stars. The owner seems like a really sweet and knowledgeable guy. Hey man, can I live in your store? It is sooo cool... read more

I have been going to Hyaena for years now. Bill is always getting interesting and unique stuff in. Books, collectibles, ephemra. Especially if you are into the "darker" side of things. They also have monthly shows with amazing artists. One of Burbank's finest! read more

This gallery is superb! An unbelievable amount of curiosities to fit your dark side.

This place is fun and has a good selection of dark-themed merchandise and art, stuff you can't easily find elsewhere. The owner is really friendly too! read more

Oh my god I'm in love. This place has the most amazing art. They have a great selection of Harold Fox paintings that is beyond amazing. They have other really cool things to look at and the staff was really nice and helpful. A definite add to my gallery list! read more

Wow, what a unique place! Tons of amazing art, books, collectibles, etc. Fair prices for original paintings and sculpture. The owner was a big, easy-going guy. Very kind and helpful, and not-at-all a pushy salesman like I've encountered at other galleries. Will definitely be going back for another painting. read more

Love this little gallery. They have the best horror artwork zines and have great specials with artists.

Really cool place. The juxtaposition of visions of horror among the scent and beauty of fresh cut flowers is almost surreal. Lots of really unique art, collectibles, etc. Got three awesome prints and two books for under $75. The owner is super chill and more than happy to show you his serial killer stuff! Easy to find, easy to park. If you like weird shit (or beautiful flowers!), you must go. read more

Well over half of my art collection has come from Hyaena. This gallery has introduced me to so many great artists for the first time. I highly recommend showing up to one of the opening receptions and seeing for yourself just how cool the art and the atmosphere is there. Long live Hyaena! read more
