I just wanted to let you know that there was a series of billboards produced (six total) from Chris Sperandio’s Advanced Drawing course (ARTS 425) that were up during the month of April in Bryan, TX.

I posted the images to our social media pages earlier this week and if you’re interested in viewing them all (6 total) you can do so here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsRUcMJyWo/
