To my mind, it was okay. Too much of it was photography for my tastes (though Siya told me later that was due in large part to the fact that shipping original art from China would have been prohibitively expensive). And it's rare that photography moves me.
Of the actual drawings and paintings, I thought the level of craft was very good on the whole, but the theme - sex, sexuality, &ct - doesn't interest as it might have 20 years ago, and too much of it was clearly manga- and comic-influenced. Now, I love comics, but as narrative, not usually as stuff you hang on a wall.
So, I'm glad I went and even more glad that it was a relative success for Siya, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.
