Sharpie Show Opening Night...

The opening night of The Sharpie Show was a tremendous success! Over 700 people stood in line (in the rain) to get in and witness the exhibit which featured close to 300 Sharpie creations. In the house were some local and international legends like:

George Clinton (MR. PFUNK himself!)

Zach de la Rocha (Rage Against the Machine)

Estevan Oriol (famed photographer/director/Joker Brand)

Efren Ramirez (Napolean Dynomite fame)

Overton Loyd (Pfunk artist), Toni Basil (Oh Mickey!), Lonnie Marshall (musician/Weapon of Choice)

Lalo Alcaraz (comic artist/La Cucaracha)

and on and on...

So many people photographed the event but we chose the images of our good friend Eriberto Oriol to visually describe the night...enjoy...
