Art as Authority: C'est la bombe bébé!

Kitty Bomb - Michael Arata

C'est la BOMBE bébé! Humeurs expo-vol2 opened with a bang a few nights ago, with a diverse collection of works by some of San Diego's finest artists, a couple of garçons from France, my man Poor Al from LA, Régent from Orcas Islands and my good friend Tom Torluemke from Indiana. Quite the showing it was, guaranteed to turn a few heads in passing. Check it out until the end of November.
