$5 or buy CN product? 

Sounds great for fans of AT shows, what Halloween related Cartoon Network art could come up. Or will it be art just related to the cartoons, thus making less sense of why it's happening on Halloween. They should have just done a Marceline event, oh CN licensing  you often don't meet any of my expectations as a consumer, the idiotic brands you connect with some times. Not this time, but that first AT watch and that clothing line at Gallery 1988, yessh.
Come by Gallery Nucleus October 31st from 2:00 - 8:00PM as we team up with Cartoon Network and Penguin Books to host one of our biggest all-ages events celebrating the studio's amazing line of hit cartoons!
