    FFDG: Age of Omuktlans - Curiot.

    Comment by AB: Mexico City artist Curiot (Favio Martinez) introduces us here in The States to his intricate interpretive blends of surreal and traditional Mexican motifs, weaving in subplots of indigenous myths and legends. Worth a visit.

    Needles & Pens: Ask the Dust - Joey Alone & Deuce 7.

    Comment by AB: Joey Alone and Deuce 7 roam the land via its railroads, exploring grand natural habitats, abandoned infrastructure and wide open spaces. They share their experiences via elaborate pen and ink recollections, rock fragments, bone samples, plant specimens (both living and dead), and top it all off with a touch of fantasy. Stop on by.
