Comic Con Versus the Art Fairs!

by Art Fag City on April 21, 2008

Comic Con 2008, photo AFC If you like automotive trade fairs, then Comic Con will be right up your alley. Though it's a different product, you'll undoubtedly experience the same level of crass commercialism; those wishing to purchase figurines, video games, or benign swords of some kind will have their pick of products.

Scope Exhibits No Truly Horrible Work

by Art Fag City on April 2, 2008

Scope Entrance, Photo AFC I haven’t been filled with warm feelings for Scope lately. I know they try, but too many galleries have scary off the record stories about their experiences, I receive more than my fair share of abusive emails from that organization, and frankly, I found their Miami fair depressing.
