exhibit showcases paintings, photographs, prints
and sculpture of the American flag as interpreted

Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol"

The Morning Call, Pennsylvania
"Ab the Flagman has been making flag art since
the early 1990s, but since Sept. 11, his paintings
have carried a new urgency. Collectors buy them for
both a love of the art and a sense of patriotism or
as a memory of a lost friend or family member." |

Review: X Miss Americas - Self Titled
"With a debut self-titled relase, the X Miss
Americas bring a distinctive blend of soul and Americana
to the annals of Southern rock by delivering a socially
conscious message backed by terribly amusing lyrics.
On its self-issued debut release, the group forms
a high-octane groove, churning out meaningful songs
about love, life, and everything that falls in between.
From the opening song, the CD is pumped full of country-fried
funk spun from a combinatin of heavy rhythms, jazz
piano and a howling harmonica . . . " |
