Tiny Frames

This is really more of a progress shot than a completed piece, but I've never framed a print within an iPhone so I'm taking my time. This piece, along with Tagged Freight and Contrasts will be displayed at the Rehoboth Art League's "Drawing" exhibition.

And yes, that was a real working phone at one point.


Exhibition Dates: July 24th through August 23rd
