Editor's Note: There's something about the work of Craig Drennen that makes people want to respond. His artwork taps into a wide range of aesthetic and emotional responses, not to mention humor and pop culture. Normally on Big RED & Shiny we feature written reviews of exhibitions, but the response to Drennen's "Pictures From The Phantom Zone" has inspired some more creative submissions. First, we feature a composition by musicians Todd Marston and Kai McMurtry that was created as part of a series of musical responses to art. Secondly, we have a video by Heidi Marston and Patrick Short (of Superfriends), interviewing Drennen during the opening reception.
