What happens when you tell more than seventy artists from around the world to help a bunch of bears evolve and take on humanity? The Humans Beware I.W.G. Custom Show will provide the answer. Featuring seventy urban artists from a variety of backgrounds and locations around planet Earth, the I.W.G. blanks will be "evolved" from different visions of the artists. With such a huge amount of talent involved (70+ artists!), this show is one you shouldn't miss!!!

There are also plans to do a live streaming webcam broadcast that will keep you up to date--check it out at http://blue77gallery.com/shows/iwg/ Another reason not to miss Humans Beware I.W.G.
