Hello Autumn Society friends and favorites! I haven't posted here in a bit, but this special occasion, I think, merits a shout. The ever talented Alicia Neal (www.alicianeal.net) and I (the somewhat inane, ever snarky Justin Gray) are having a small opening for our 2 month long show this Friday in West Philadelphia, at the Greenline Cafe at 45th and Locust. We'd love to see some friendly faces out! Above is an example of a piece of one of her paintings, while below is a segment of one of my drawings.
