Gees! That's too much!
Y'know what I love about these portraits? They remind me of the ones in The Night Gallery.
I'll be at Arlington Arts Center. David Page makes some kickass wearable sculptures.
Thanks for a great list!
Arts on Belmont at the Adams Morgan Day Festival is great!! www.AdamsMorganDayFestival.com
