Kenyon Q. Smith


Our bud from down south, Kenyon Q. Smith, has a beautiful and subtle charcoal drawing hanging in the shop right now. He also just redid his website and is blogging over at The Phcy. Kenyon will have new work in our October group show at AS220's Reading Room but until then come by and check out his work hanging above our reading area.

Oh, and we almost forgot!  His work was featured in our group-show style zine, Amigos Publishing & Friends Vol. 1 which you can buy here.
