We all wanna do something to help our friends in Japan who are in need. Max Erdenberger made this print $25 w/ all the proceeds going to help those in Japan.
We're sure that Max's funds will go to a good organization. Here's a list of places that can take $$ through mobile. Some say donating $$ is a good thing. Others say Japan doesn't need the money. Whatever, just do some research, and help the way you feel comfortable.

Things were a tad sleepy around here as we took a few days off bouncing about the SF Bay for my birthday. The hangover has settled, we're in the new FFDG (open this week Wed thru Sat 1-6pm), and getting the Fecal chugging along once again. Stay tuned...
Poo. Check. Wifey. Check. Drizzle. Check. On the Water. Check.
When cake doesn't suit you, it's steak thirty.

We are so excited to be around such great food and cafes now since moving FFDG to the Lower Haight. Favorites are quickly amounting, but Cafe Du Soleil at Fillmore and Waller has such kick ass coffee and food... try the open-faced chicken sandwich & amazing ham and cheese croissant (just the right amount of ham).

And, of course, Cafe International, a neighborhood staple (here since I moved here in '93), is friendly as ever serving up a perfect toasted tune fish sandwich. Wifey LOVES the mediterranean plate, outdoor seating, and don't forget Sunday evening live jazz which is a iteration of the Sunday night jazz at The Gathering Cafe in North Beach (long since closed) featuring BJ Papa and Bishop. A couple of beers listening to live Jazz is a great way to wrap up the weekend. Relaxing.

Ken Harman Talks: Fecal Face Makes a Move <-- If you’ve never heard of Fecal Face before, it’s not what you’re probably thinking it is. Although some of the work they feature might be a tad NSFW, there’s certainly nothing ahem crappy about the gallery. As Hi-Fructose Magazine’s Online Media Manager, Ken Harman explains, they’re making moves, and not just in the art world. ~continue reading.
Thanks to Ken & Scoutmob for the kind words.

| Mark Mulroney at Ever Gold (+Photos)
Fertile Menace, a new show of Mark Mulroney's (NY) work opened at Ever Gold on May 4th and it's not one to be missed. It is intelligently hilarious, with jokes riffing off sex, Foucault, and the body, and while it makes you laugh it's also going to make you think.

| Michael Garlington & The Metaphysical Fundraiser at 111 Minna
Although I missed the opening of Northern-California photographer Michael Garlington's newest show, Constructed Realities, I was fortunate enough to see the work still up during the Metaphysical fundraiser a couple weeks back at 111 Minna. Metaphysical fundraiser, an auction to benefit Wayne Ernzer. --- The ghoulish photographs in their heavy, hand-made frames are reminiscent of photos from the old west, and the glass crucifixes, complete with fetuses and guns, emphasize the accumulated time within the works themselves. Whether you're looking at the frames, the photos, or both, this show deserves a visit, and a walk through the golden archway Garlington constructed around the front door.

| ARYZ at Fifty24SF
ARYZ (Spain) opened his newest gallery show at Fifty24SF last Friday and, if you live in the Bay Area, you need to go. This dude can obviously paint, and he doesn't need an entire building to show his impecable skill. The show has lots of small works on paper which contrast his highly-defined line work to his hard-edged painted objects. The contrast between the hard and soft was the most striking thing to me about his work, since I had never seen it in person before, and the washes blend with the thick paint seamlessly. The show also contains a larger work on canvas, a huge head suspended in the back of the room, and a big wood sculpture of a wolf figure. This diversity in such a small space was impressive, and those of us that went to the opening even got to meet the man in person. If you didn't make it out this weekend, check it out before May 31st when it closes and these works will be off to some very happy new homes.

| Hard Time Mini Mall @The Shooting Gallery
The Shooting Gallery handed over the reins to the Red Truck Gallery (a New Orleans based gallery) which curated their new show, Hard Time Mini Mall and opened the it on Saturday night. This is my favorite show (so far) in the Shooting Gallery's new space and was packed full of art, a mini bar, and cowhide rugs. The Red Truck Gallery chose works with clear craftsmanship and it was easy to see in Ian Berry's denim assemblages and Chris Roberts-Antieau's awesome quilts. The space was completely packed, making it hard to see each piece individually, but this show deserves a second trip anyway. I look forward to spending more time with the chandeliers, automatons, and paintings before the show comes down on May 4th.

| "Ayre (of Distances)" by Nathan Cyprys +Toronto
Toronto based photographer Nathan Cyprys emailed to let us know about his newest series "Neighbour State", and we were about to post it when we spotted this series on his site entitled "Ayre (of Distances)" and had to post this one instead. After you view this one, view "Neighbour State" on his site. Both are visually enjoyable.

| Recent Works by David Lyle
Working from found photographs, Lyle's paintings are created through a reductive painting process where each piece is rendered using only black paint and turpentine. Lyle begins this process by priming a panel with white gesso. He then paints a thin, rich, oily black veneer over the primed panel, slowly and systematically developing his images by removing some of the black paint with a cloth. In doing so, Lyle renders layer upon layer of various values of black paint resulting in his signature-style of luminescent works.

| Skewville & Mark Warren Jacques @White Walls (SF)
Two twin brothers from Brooklyn, Skewville brought the fun to their opening at White Walls last Saturday night with their new show, Amusement. After all, you can't take a show that starts with a sign reading "Sucks either Way" too seriously. Besides the simplistic yet detailed paintings, visitors got to ride on a bike-powered merry-go-round and throw bean bags at bottles like a carnival game. Even the works made of found materials, like the Battleship boombox and the suitcase made of tin lunch pails, brought a sense of humor to the night. After seeing the work in the back of the gallery, which was much more crowded, Skewville provided a light-hearted atmosphere in which viewers could drink beer, play games, and see some really great artworks.

| The Yok & Sheryo
Brooklyn based artists Sheryo and The Yok recentely completed the mural "Pipe Dreams" in Long Island City at 5 pointz. The Yok also emailed over some photos fom a recent trip to Mexico for the Festival Anonymous held near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from this past January... Awesome, we're heading to Mexico in a couple weeks.
