The Spectrum 21 judging event is this Saturday! Five jury members will convene in San Jose, California to cast their votes to decide which call for entries submissions are included in Spectrum 21: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art. Good luck to everyone who participated!
Meet our second jury member: Shelly Wan.
