The opening will be sponsored by Dewars and Grolsch and will take place from 7-11PM on Fri, Jan. 4th. There will be a special installation from P. Williams in our front room and an exhibition in our main gallery featuring over 50 artists from all across the U.S. and as far off as Japan, Germany, Australia, Canada and Scotland.

On Sat, Jan. 5th we’ll be open from noon till 6PM for further viewing of the show. We will be hosting a special coloring contest for kids taking place in our project room that afternoon to further encourage families to come through together and experience this amazing gathering of talent and hopefully walk away with some knowledge gained on our feathered friends and all things cute and furry that the API help to protect and defend.”

this is for a group show in L.A.

i needed to draw something before the deadline. days seem to pass rather quickly these days. i sneaked out from the bed while elijah was sound asleep. the trick is to tiptoe as if you were a ninja. it’s a good thing that i’m japanese - i know EXACTLY how to do it.
