PHOTOS: "The INK Show"

INK AND DRINK >>>

Last night Mad Hat Tea Co. in downtown Tacoma held a reception for The INK Show – new work by artists who dabble in ink such as Zachary Marvick, Maria Jost, Adam Jackson, Jeremy Gregory, Kenji Fullmer and Maureen McHugh, among others. The contributing artist answered questions about their ink drawings from the packed crowd - most in the 20s. All the works are amazing. I recommend you stop by for a cup and a browse. The INK Show runs through May 6.

Most of Jeremy Gregory's work was sold by time I arrived. I did learn that he's participating in a live collaborative art project titled "W3AVE" Thursday, April 29, at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle.

Last night was also my look at Mad Hat's new bar. Visitors can now lean on something as they sip tea.

I snapped a few photos before running off to Pacific Grill due to complete starvation. Have you tried PG's ramen bowls? You should.
