Shots of the Grateful Dead and Mick Jagger highlight this week's exhibit by Charlie Olchowski and John Shealy.

He visited California on a vacation once and decided to stay. Sewell's interest didn't run toward gallery art anyway, so once in California he became what he calls "an environmental artist." Now the proprietor of the Venice Flea Market, a Los Angeles head shop, Sewell says what he wants...
