{event photos}: Zombie Art Show

On July 8, we hosted our biggest Sketch Jam yet! Thirteen artists gathered to depict their favorite Founding Father as a zombie! After five hours of furious art making, we hung our work on the wall and invited the public in to award points to their favorite pieces.

Don’t miss out on our next event: HP Lovecraft’s Birthday Art Show on August 19! RSVP to the Facebook event and tell your friends. You can also keep up with studio news by following co-founder Jordan on Twitter or by joining our email list.
