Yeah, I waited to long to get X-mas gifts and now all the good stuff is gone. But here is a standout sure to please:
Chicago artist David "COVE" Gonzalez has a show opening tonight titled, Escape of the Crazies.
"I've enjoyed seeing his work on canvas over the years. I also like his drawing style. He uses ball point pens for sketching and shading in a way I haven't really seen before. This should be a great show."
