Your Portrait By That Fancy Tom!
Here's a creative opportunity for you: Be the art. Because local artist Tom Britton, known to some as Fancy Tom and known to even more as "Whoa, man, your skills are amazing!" is working toward an exhibition of portraits to be displayed at Lustre Pearl in October. And he's planning on showing, like, a fuck-ton of portraits there, and so he needs citizens (like you, yes) to stop by his studio for a couple of hours, to be added to the collection he's creating.Free.
