EFA

Today, the EFA is the overlord of Bob Blackburn's studio. During Print Week, I stopped by for an opening there. Naturally, there were some excellent works up in the Members show. They also had up All We Ever Wanted was Everything which was 9 piles of posters that you could take copies of.


One of Justin Sanz's monoprints. They make me like monoprints.


No idea who made this, but it's pretty good.
