Envelope-pushing artist Alex Pardee hosted
Brightmares, a Halloween party and one-night-only show at Black Book Gallery on October 27. At the totally immersive experience with live statues, balloon art and exclusive pieces, Pardee signed everything from shirts to homemade costumes; he was joined by well-known Denver artist Rashelle Stetman, who just moved to California.
