When I unexpectedly decided to capture some of the colorful and bold pictures and people at Huntington Arts Council’s Opening Reception on March 29th, I used the best, and only, camera on me: my iPhone.

It turned out the Friday night fun was too good to pass up covering at the Bright Colors Bold Strokes, Creations of Lowbrow Art exhibit.

I went to the reception with my friend Bob Stuhmer, a professional illustrator who had two pictures – “Bareback Rider” and “Polaner” – in the exhibit. Each is a 20″x16″ marker illustration.
