UPDATE:  The Manayunk Roxborough Art Center (recently awarded the 2018  Classic Towns People’s Choice award for Best Art Gallery/Workshop in Roxborough) is not moving their 10th Annual Juried Show but is keeping it at the Green Street location.  Two of my Whimsical One-Liner drawings, BAD SUSHI and HALF ASS DRAWING (L-R, above) are on exhibit.  A Whimsical One-Liner is a single line drawing that never crosses itself and in which the title and image together are a play on words. In the case ofBAD SUSHI and HALF ASS DRAWING, I do hope that everyone concludes that the titles refer to the subject matter of the drawings, and not to how they were executed.
