IMG_7200.jpg

i bought my grandfathers wooden wagon when i was in college and was really feeling nostalgic about this one. a guy named alex let me take it for a 'joy ride'.

IMG_7247.jpg

just add joy.

IMG_7335.jpg

back to sf and a stop at one of our favorite haunts. i also went to new york with fish to help out with his show at the joshua liner gallery.

IMG_7487.jpg

IMG_7455.jpg

IMG_7482.jpg

IMG_7528.jpg

my favorite piece in the show.

IMG_7576.jpg

we stayed a night at mike bogart's spot in brooklyn. he's lives right in the middle of an oh so jewish neighborhood.

ROOF016.jpg

he's a swell photographer and we had an inpromptu drunken photo shoot on his roof top. he took this.

IMG_7669.jpg

one of the aforementioned jewish peeps. it's a good thing he can't see through the sidewalk cause the girl below is german.

IMG_7677.jpg

this here is beergit. her birthday was the same day as the opening.

IMG_7684.jpg

opening.

IMG_7680.jpg

josh keyes had the other side of the gallery. i didn't get very good photos of his stuff so if you don't already know his stuff go here and see why i'm a fan.

IMG_7692.jpg

the after party was in the rooftop penthouse suite of the marritime hotel. also no good photos on account of the alcohol.

IMG_7715.jpg

saw this rad sign.

IMG_7735.jpg

then got 'tubucolosis, lukemia and sphyllis' about 5 minutes later. some photos...

41380028.jpg

41370018.jpg

41360030.jpg

IMG_7868.jpg

went upstate to see some family and swam. it was warm then.

90770008.jpg

IMG_7855.jpg

water bug. i also went to the lebowski fest.

IMG_9395.jpg

me, the real dude that lewbowski was based off of (jeff dowd), and my special lady.

IMG_9444.jpg

martin and the dude.

IMG_9418.jpg

IMG_9467.jpg

IMG_9473.jpg

the garden party.

IMG_9465.jpg

my personal favorite '3000 years of beautiful tradition from Moses to Sandy Koufax'.

the_dude.jpg

the dude bowling. fack yeah. so... the main reason i haven't been blogging is because i have a day job these days. i work full time as a photo editor at kink.com. if you're not familiar, they are a production company, more specifically, they make adult movies... also known as porn. i hadn't had a day job since 2002 and i've really been missing the free time i used to have. that being said, the job itself is awesome and kink treats it's employees really well. i'm staying. one of the many benefits of working there is that i get invites to the live shoots.

97920011.jpg

this is ultimate surrender. it's 3 rounds of competitive non scripted wrestling between women.

__7_0188.jpg

the live shows are tag teams.

97920008.jpg

i was surprised at how hard they actually wrestle. they also gets points for finger banging and stuff.

__2_0147.jpg

the catch is that there's a 4th round where the winners fuck the losers. neat eh?

__9_0154.jpg

bam.

_13_0158.jpg

pile on, yo!

_--_0336.jpg

in addition to ultimate surrender, there have been a handful of live shoots at some bars around town.

57100017.jpg

i'm a little more partial to these because the photos are more interesting. also, i tend to have more friends at them and free beer is cool. and free beer is cool. yeah, i said it twice. well, that's what i've been up to. i'll try to bust out some more regular like blogs in the future. in the mean time, fuck yeah. {moscomment}

Dave Kinsey @FFDG

Last Friday we were pleased to open up Dave Kinsey's first solo show in San Francisco since before 2000 when Dave was doing a lot of work in streets with his then work partner Shepard Fairey. A lot of the smaller works are homage to that era, i.e., the titles are San Francisco street names. Love his new direction.


STREETOPIA @The Luggage Store

After our Dave Kinsey opening last Friday, we made our way down Market Street for Luggage Store's opening of STREETOPIA. Ran into a lot of friends and was amazed at how transformed the gallery was. Multiple rooms built out to include a Free Cafe, a theater, a gallery/studio, and a library. Streetopia will host free performances, teachings, and talks in the city every day for the show's month-long run and, thus, will provide a temporary space that offers opportunities for participation, agency, critical thinking, learning, sharing of ideas, and tools for community building that will reverberate in the real city after the city we build in the gallery is long gone.


Matt Moore in Paris

From Matt Moore: A new series of (entirely spraypaint) canvas painting created during a 1-month residency in Paris. A true evolution from the purely geometric abstractions I have explored in my past few exhibitions : Sun Ray Ricochet (Moscow 2011) + XYZ Axis (Cincinnati 2011) + Crystals & Lasers (Paris 2010) + Parallel Universe (Sao Paulo 2009) + 20/20 (Barcelona 2008). An exciting new chapter.


Barry McGee at Prism LA

Doug Neill emailed over a few photos from Barry McGee's opening last Friday at Prism in Los Angeles.


Further Collective Flagstaff Mural

The Further Collective: Mario Martinez (Mars-1), Damon Soule & Oliver Vernon were in Flagstaff last week collaborating on an outdoor mural at The Flagstaff Brewing Company located in the historical district of downtown Flagstaff, AZ.


INTERVIEW with Tristan Patterson

Director of the documentary film DRAGONSLAYER --> DRAGONSLAYER is a documentary about the skateboarder Josh "Skreech" Sandoval. He's a character and the film follows his many ups and downs dealing with young parenthood, competing, and relationships. However, rather then try and make some type of statement about him, it just presents him objectively in the way that he is through wonderful cinematography.


2 New Zines by Pacolli & Mildred

Got two new zines from Mildred and Pacolli for us to share with you. Pacolli's The Last Chance Kids is published through Volcom's Artist Series and is 40 pages and sells for only $7 printed on thick quality heavy stock.


Logan Crable's Blow Jobs

Logan Crable emailed us the other day with an offer to view his Blow Job series. Normally we don't get offers to view someone's porn project, but we quickly learned that the blowing is more in the literal sense as opposed to the pleasuring form.


Michelle Ramin & SFAI Grad Show

Thanks to Michelle Ramin for emailing us some her recent paintings. Michelle will be displaying her work as part of SFAI's MFA graduate show running this weekend and opening Friday, May 11th at the Pheonix Hotel here in San Francisco.


Interview with Jeff Depner

Whether conceptually motivated or intuitively created, the process of painting has been a main attribute in art for sometime now. Controlling the surface of a canvas is at the root of most contemporary painting. Vancouver native Jeff Depner's work creates avenues for visual discovery through a process based aesthetic. Layers upon layers of paint each relating to the next. Masking some, if not all, of the past creates a visual history within. The work ebbs and flows between graphic qualities and thick painterly styles with muted but contemporary feeling colors. The constant process of 'improvised moves' allows some of the work to be based in grid like structures. It allows some of the smaller paintings a chance for inquiry in constructive qualities and aspects of painting, inserting his work into the long history of painting.


If Bill Murray was a Triple Bacon Cheeseburger

Bay Area artist Cahill Wessel emailed over a couple gems- food/human hybrids with wonderful titles. Made our morning.


Michael Miller @Fifty24SF

On the way home from Fecal Face a couple Fridays back we swung through Fifty24SF to catch the two day show with the LA based hip-hop photographer Michael Miller in celebration of his new book. West coast hip-hop iconic early 1990's hip-hop photographs, including numerous photos of 2pac, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Warren G... the bonus: Eazy-E touting a skateboard and a gun?!


Marissa Textor - Mini Interview

Marissa Textor and Ryan Travis Christian are currently showing together at Cooper Cole Gallery in Toronto. Gerald interviews the LA based Marissa Textor. Check out her detailed graphite drawings.


Richmond Virginia Street Art Festival 2012

A couple weeks back Jeff Soto flew out to Richmond, VA for their street art festival to do some mural action. Artists included the likes of Hense, Richard Colman, Dalek, Hamilton Glass, and many more.


Dave Kinsey @FFDG, May 18th

New mixed media paintings and installation. This will be his first show in San Francisco in 12 years and his first on the West Coast since 2007... We're very excited. Below is a lil' taste of what's to come.

Massive show from this prolific Belgium based sreet artist.


Hamishi in Melbourne

Hamishi emailed over some photos from his current show Nothing Special running at Melbourne's Paradise Hills through this Saturday, May 5th. If you're in Melbourne, view it in person as we're sure it looks even better in person.

Hamishi participated in last November's group show 11.11.11 @FFDG back in November with Mario Martinez showing a solo show... Man, that's was a nutty opening before the cops showed up.



Opening Pics @FFDG for C.P.H.

Murals by Flavio Samelo (Brazil)

We had the pleasure of meeting Flavio Samelo when we were in Sao Paulo last summer (blog). He's a skateboarder/ photographer and talented artist. Here are some photos from some of his recent mural done in Rio de Janeiro, also in his words.

New Fish Print
Tuesday, 22 May 2012, 10:12am

Our buddy Jeremy Fish has a brand new print The Golden Hills out through Upper Playground. The print is made in an edition of 100, signed and numbered by the artist, and printed at the fantastic Bloom Press in Oakland, California. 18" x 24" $100

This drawing was inspired by that looming feeling that San Francisco is an isolated island from the rest of the country. As SF becomes more and more expensive, and the lower income creative folks that make this city pulse get squeezed off the island, "the city that knows how" will slowly transform into a sterile west coast Manhattan full of tech chads and internet gurus. —Jeremy Fish
