Then, finally, at 4:23am as you lay in bed ready to strangle the 1,099th sheep you’ve counted – the idea finally comes!

Now before you go banging your head against a wall (again) in a “why didn’t I think of that” frenzy, check out this insightful interview with the clever brains behind ARTCRANK, Director/Curator Charles Youel. And then go check out an art show like you have never experienced before. READ FULL ARTICLE: SF EXAMINER
