Abdi Starts Strong On 'Work of Art'

Our hometown boy Abdi Farah (C '09) was met with high praise in his Bravo debut on last night's premiere episode of Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. Even though he didn't take home the inaugural gold, he made it to the top three and wowed seasoned critics like Jerry Saltz and, um, China Chow. Although the preview for the rest of the season made it seem like he'd be going home before winning the grand prize (anyone else get that vibe?), we have high hopes for his performance in the rest of the season. What did you think? Give us your impressions of his work in the comments.
