Words that come to mind while thinking about Sean Alexander's new drawings at Fulcrum Gallery include funny, sad, inventive and hopeful. Also precise, obsessional, illustrational, folksy and cartoonish. Alexander's drawings are many things. Boring is not one of them.

Alexander is no stranger to Tacoma's art scene. He was co-founder of The Helm, a short-lived gallery that promoted many young artists, he was a Foundation of Art Award nominee and named in my recent "10 to Watch" column on up-and-coming artists. Now he's an up-and-going artist who will soon relocate to Brooklyn, according to Fulcrum owner Oliver Doriss. So I advise you to go and see his work while you still can.
