the fuck is massive black?

By the looks of the people attending, it's a digital art workshop.

[Tankjr]

I was hoping it was a Massive Black Out in Dallas, Texas. I'm pleasuring myself to the thought of a bunch of panicky Texans with guns going without power in the city for an extended period of time.

I was hoping they caught Obama rummaging through the dumpster.

[Mizango]

Drive to Houston, you'll understand.

[Charismatic]

MIZANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGO!!!!!!!

[Cephius]

I was hoping this meant that Texas had lost power, and for once we wouldn't have you people on the internet for a day

[Valkrish]

I'll keep tabs on the progress, but i'm not an accomplished artist, nowhere near 5% of what i've seen on their previous efforts in san francisco

Seeing stuff like this makes me really excited to see the new age generation of artists and such.

Looking forward to seeing more of this /

By the looks of the people attending, it's a digital art workshop.

Yeah, it's a workshop for both traditional and digital artists. It's amazing.

Accomplished or not, you should go if you can :D. It's a little expensive, but definitely worth it. If I'm able to, I'll definitely bring back things to share about it when the time comes around.

MIZANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGO!!!!!!!

It's all love.

So, I'd just gotten back from Reverie a day ago, thought I'd update on this.

All in all, it was fucking amazing. It was truly a life-changing and wonderful experience. Day 1 started at roughly 8 in the evening, kicking off with an awesome party with music, drinks on the house, sexy models, and digital demonstrations all around the fashion design center. Random pictures taken by random people, with some by Irene Gallo~

There was just so much to experience and so much going on at once that it was impossible to make the most of everything. Every artist is approachable and down to earth. For any Whit Brachna fans, he's fucking cool as hell. This trip was definitely worth it. Shanghai next!

[Tyche]

Well, there were tits. It wasn't a complete failure.

[Rhinox]

That tattooed chick is hot as fuck.
