New Show at SPACEWOMb Gallery This Saturday
It is so ironic to me how this same little doll that got rejected from Art Doll Quarterly magazine two months ago became the headliner for this show in Long Island City, go figure! I felt kind of bad about it too, but oh well. You all know the saying, one person’s trash… Read more
