Fwacata! Look at My Hands addresses Caribbean history through sequential art. Fwacata! is both a visual arts exhibition and a comic book. The show plumbs the tension between the gallery and the comic book striving for synergies between the wall and the page, aware of the comic book medium’s Pop genealogy in the gallery and of its coming of age as literature.

CONGRATULATIONS TO TONY "TITANIUM" MONTALVO
Titanium has been chosen as The Most NYC due to his memorable design. As you can tell he combined NYC's own Spiderman and a pig making it into a Spiderpig. His piece took a lot of hardwork and dedication and because of his skills, his piece is priceless.
