    Although I tend to not mention their shows here anymore since it’s such a regular part of my routine (I post on other shows in part as a reminder), I was at the Ginza Graphic Gallery and Creation Gallery G8 earlier (I’m at the Apple Store now) for this month’s shows, which cover the prize-winners…
