I kept things brief due to general exhaustion from a long week, but I managed to see maybe half of the artists I listed for weekend 1, and a bunch of other artists as well.

1890 Bryant was again a treasure trove of amazing artists and art. I loved K.B. Young's paintings of the ocean. Liz Hickok's jello art was whimsical and intriguing. Sean Poreda's bronze anatomical sculptures reminded me of Lovecraft's Shub-Niggurath. And Michael Kerbow's meat maps reminded me of the sloth demon's abominations in Dragon Age. Yeah, I'm sophisticated like that.
