Testimonials

"I chickened out at the Love Supreme show by stealing back my work. While I was there a lady asked about my piece. She really liked it until I quoted the price: $80. Her reply was a disdainful "Oh" and she walked away. My friend who was with me freaked and said TAKE BACK YOUR WORK! So I did. Maybe next time I'll have thicker skin."

"My first encounter with Steve and the Budget Gallery was somewhat surreal and filled with excitement. I e-mailed Steve asking if I could send my piece a bit a late, this was the golden roach hotel assemblage, and just between us, "he told me not to tell anyone," days later to my surprise I saw my work "golden hotel #1" on the BG web site, that made my day, to see the work I express mailed from Brooklyn the day before on the street in SF, rock. I never met any of the Budget Gallery Staff in person, but I support them whole heartily."
