nick cave’s art exhibit
up close and personal
sound suits
colors

in his style

and
most of all
that each of them are artists in their own right.

The day has arrived for the third in a series of BloggyVille wagers regarding the success of the sports teams that Beth of I Didn’t Have My Glasses On and I.
