“Aimee Cardoso, Shasta Haubrich, Dee Lara, Brandon Pederson, James Talambas, and Jay Wilkinson have organized, volunteered at, or participated in pretty much every popular pop-up art show over the past two years: Exhibitionists, 100 for 100: 100 Artists for 100 Dollars & Under, Viva La Vulva!, and now, Amuse-Bouche” - Edward Brown, Fort Worth Weekly

“Unlike the bold and sharp angles of the pieces surrounding it, “What You Expected” appeared flat and oval, almost like a well-shaded drawing of a hole, emerging from the floor of the gallery.

“The group is called Art Tooth, and it was founded by the folks behind art collectives Bobby on Drums and the Exhibitionists. Art Tooth’s first exhibition kicks off tonight at Gallery 76102.” - Hady Mawajdeh, Art & Seek
