About Me

ABOUT THRIFT ART:Thrift Art will poke holes in the concrete of your Mausolea, and transform said dead spaces into parking lots for the sale and enjoyment of thrift art. Khan, Johnson and Ando will be burned in effigy, and there will be looting in the streets. The Art revolution will not be televised, the Art revolution wil be live!!For Slideshow of the last thrift art gallery show and auction, go here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/photoblay/sets/72157600060 335827/
