LA RECORD x-mas party / art show '09

this year's LA Record x-mas party had an added bonus, an art show featuring it's visual contributers (curated by drew denny). for the occasion, i made a limited edition of 10 illustrations and sold them for $5. (prints still available. if interested in purchasing, please contact.) got a pretty decent response given the crowd and incredible distractions (most were of a liquid form.) here's a few pics after install and of the evening.
