Shows you should apply to (because I am!)

Spraygraphic (a clothing brand and artists online community) is having two different calls for artists. I like the Spraygraphic shows (I was in the mini mini show before) because they showcase a lot of good work, they try to include everyone that submits and really create an excitement for the arts in the community. To find out how to apply to the vinyl record show go here. The deadline is 12/01/09.To apply to the Black and White photo show check out the requirements here. This one is due 12/10/2009. (Plus the opening is at Green, my FAVORITE vegetarian restaurant).

We got our photo taken for the new times, i think the girl was unimpressed by our waving though (look at the caption). haha
