Skullz Press: Mike Giant.

Review and images by Pilar Vree: Art openings at Mike Giant's Skullz Press feel more like parties than art openings, what with the metal music and low lights and everyone dressed in black. But what would be a better setting for viewing the artwork? As usual, the show delivers classic pieces by this San Francisco staple.
