Opening Night at the Showroom

What a night! Overall, we had about 300 people through the door. A whole bunch of different galleries were represented with some very positive expression of interest in Eros and his work. Lots of artists, lots of people from all over town - community activists, designers, photographers, arts educators, and loads of other artisans. Some TV celebs, online content producers, and other film industry people were here as well.

Limited Edition Fine Art Prints

In addition to the paintings and drawings, we were also very pleased to roll-out the first 5 in our series of 20 different Limited Edition Fine Art Prints - brilliant colors on heavy weight, high-end cotton rag, acid free, cold press papers - an outstanding value on top-of-the line fine art. A nod of thanks to Matt Whitaker, our genius who runs the prints.

Our framer, Mario Castanda at Silver Lake Custom Frame, really came through for us on the
