It’s the Professor’s last day!
Thats right! It’s Saturday and it is your last chance to see Shawnimals’ The Chronicles of Professor Fliggins at the A.Okay official Gallery. Get on over there already…
…before he leaves on another adventure.
Can’t bring yourself to leave your house? Go online to view and purchase the work (unfortunately you wont be able to get a t-shirt, DIY Fliggins face or those limited edition plush online. You have to go to the gallery for that). Enjoy the show and we will be back next week with another crazy exhibit.
