Before we took off for the art show, this super trippy light appeared in the sky and was apparently seen all over the western U.S. Conspiracy theories abound, but we figured it was our signal to get to the show.

Over 300 people showed up to the art show at LinkSoul Gallery that night - and there was a lot to look at, including classic boards, original art, and old ads showing how we laid them out before photoshop and illustrator even existed. Check out THE BOARDS!
