Announcing the “Back to Sacto” Blockhead 30 Year Art Show May 6th
 
That’s right, we’re taking the show on the road…right back to where we started from!  Blockhead was launched in Roseville CA, a suburb of Sacramento, in 1985 in my parents garage.  Though we made the jump down south in 1989 we still remember our roots and felt compelled to bring the show back to Sacto where it could be enjoyed by a whole new crowd, many of whom grew up with Blockhead.
