So, if your making plans for this weekend, you should come out to Big Al Brewery in White Center on Saturday from 6-9pm! Artifakt Artist Joseph Brooks will be hanging new work.

If you are in tacoma you definitely wont want to miss this opening! Here is a little bit more info about the artist:

Puppet Volcano cover!!!, originally uploaded by Jeremy Gregory. Yes! My first published 3-D puppet illustration. The Halloween cover of the Volcano. I just asked Ron Swarner about doing the cover with these puppets that I have been obsessing on. I told him I had a Zombie puppet that I had just used for the Artbus buttons and asked if he would be interested in a photo/ 3-D illustration for the cover and he agreed. I text Jason Ganwich and asked him if he would be interested in taking the photo, but we only had one day. He said yes and that it sounded like fun. Later he told me it was just because my puppet was so awesome. He said if the puppet wasn’t so good he would have told me to F*%# off! He came over and it was one of the most fun experiences ever.

Thanks!
