Yesterday was the Monster Drawing Rally for 2012! I’ve reported to you on this event before in previous posts (see here and here, for example) and was pleased to go again this year. It was in a different space again, now co-sponsored (with Outpost for Contemporary Art) by the Pasadena Armory Center for the Arts, and hosted there.

I think I have some of the information on a computer at home, so until I get to restoring it, please forgive the awful, AWFUL disarray you see on the site now. I’ve put in an attempted temporary header image, and all the other things you see are defaults that look dreadful.

Sorry.
