When the D.I.Y. spirit is a monumental faction of any artistic community, one will be offered a variety of works, ranging from exceptional to shoddy. A band’s debut album is one such product that shows how much they truly care. The one-of-a-kind “authenticity” of a Sharpeed home-burnt disc protected by hand-drawn CD artwork on … Continue reading
This Thursday’s Art Mix at the Crocker Museum was a bright swirl of neon colors against darkened rooms. In the lobby, there was a lightshow by John Sonderegger and Ted Ternes.
