Comment: Art and crafts by artists from the California prison system, hundreds of pieces hung by clips, many being digital prints of originals, cover every available wall in the law offices of defense attorneys Tony Serra and associates. Prices rarely exceed $200; subjects include wild animals, tough men, sexy women, portraits, Native Americans, outdoor scenes, tattoo-like designs, abstracts, symbolic motifs, and religious subjects. Handwritten artist statements, some stunningly penned, hang clipped below their artists' art, reference a culture familiar to few outsiders, and give pause for thought.
