======================================================
I hope anyone that lives in Southern California and reads ArtNYC blog attends the Blab! Show. It’s worth it. Were I in Santa Monica I would go to it myself.
Hi Marshall-
Thanks for posting this press release. The Blab show looks to be a good one.
It is now online for those people who can’t make it out to Santa Monica, CA to see it in person.
Fred Stonehouse and Ryan Heshka came through with a substantial number of amazing paintings. The rest of the show is top notch as well. I will be going down there next Thursday and I’ll be able to report back to you with some photos the week after.
