Review by RWM: Wow. So much, but wondrous just the same. There are the occasional surprises and shockers here and there along the walls upon walls crammed with pictures of mostly naked ladies. Outrageous, but also sublime at times.
Comment by AB: More erectile tissue than you can shake a stick at, the whole shootin' match courtesy of the fine folks over at Erotic Art Events .

Comment by AB: Indoor examples of artworks you normally see outdoors in actual size and detail. Normally way up the sides of buildings or otherwise inaccessible for intimate viewing, here you get an opportunity to study 'em close up.

Fecal Face Dot Gallery : Corey Arnold - FISH-WORK.
Review by RWM: Nice to see captured the life of the fisherman and beleagured fish. Animal totems and spirit guides are also present to help understand the experience. One will also experience the solitude and awe of the great blue beyond. The artist does not take the subject too seriously, also interjecting humor, and at times captures the depth of connection one can have with the sea. The bloody fish picture however also speaks volumes about our treatment of wild creatures, with fish rarely ever being considered as other than food. Billions depend upon fish as a food source, and through the damage we have done to the ocean and fish populations, the effects on those billions shows. There is however a middle ground with information from local aquariums and other informed organizations and individuals about how to eat seafood sustainably, and here it is nice to see that subject examined in plain sight. The fisherman as well as the sea life want fish to be there and be plentiful.
