I went to the show back when it was in Charlotte, so 2013 or 2014? Think that was getting close to the peak for popularity. This is just my opinion but seems like it has jumped the shark, so to speak. I remember being really impressed by Argonaut and Appleman, and of course drooling over Casati. Don’t think Vanilla was there but Pegoretti was.
Anyhow, just seems like it has lost its luster. Lot of incredible works of art, no doubt, but the exposure seems to be shifting away. To what, I don’t know.
