CACCA California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Art (I know, the acronym makes no sense) (Lilly Luna Bennett (in hat) talking with Jan (with sunglasses) about her piece "I Love the Unknown" clay, wood, paint) CACCA! YeeHaww!!! Honestly I could draw a Thousand pictures of that night! I Suck at taking pictures when I am part of an event, or when I am really tired.  This was a bit of a combination of the two but...

The Crocker (Rick Siggins, JuJuiygi 2007, Acrylic on Canvas) I Love The Crocker. (Homeboys, Brian D Tripp 1997 Mixed media) I always like to see there contemporary permanent collection, Its interesting especially after seeing the SF MOMA. Our Museum is good!                     (Charlie Brown Untitled, Bearing the weight#1 Oil on Pasted Canvas) I Feel Like the Crocker is a little more humbler, a little more down to earth. and still basically jam packed with Exceptional works and sweet shows.  I should probably become a member. (Gustavo Ramos Rivera, Bulerias 2009 Oil on Canvas) (Kojo with Ceramic piece) Thank You Crocker.
