What if the history of art began and ended with graphite, and your
local art supply store was little more than a pencil outlet?  For this
group show, gallery hanahou has challenged artists from all backgrounds
and mediums to drop their brushes and computer mice and see what they
can do with only a B2 pencil and a piece of paper.  Just as compelling
as the results on the gallery walls will be the visitors' reactions to
so many artistic viewpoints rendered in shades of gray.  The pencils the
artists use to create their work will be included with sale of the
artwork.

Participating artists include
digital maestro Kenzo Minami, peaceable painting duo APAK, and Robbie
Guertin, who plays in the band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and has
collaborated with other artists on album artwork.  Several artists, including Robbie Guertin, will attend the opening reception on October 16.
