Two of Britain’s greatest artwork exports, French and Fos, have teamed up to present a new exhibition Stateside – Conventional Weapons.
This show is a celebration of the gruesome and twisted like only Fos and French can conjure up. So, if you’re in Brooklyn, New York Saturday 3rd February, make sure you stop by the skateshop KCDC from 8pm onwards and get a look in.
N.B. You must be 21 years or older with ID – I guess that means there some horrific depictions splashed with booze…
