I'm a visual fella; so when we get zines and magazines sent to us, I skim through them enjoying the layout and the oh so pretty colors. This new magazine from Vancouver, covering its artists and scene, is put together very nicly on quality paper stock. It's colors are in fact pretty and it's layout and artists it features are interesting, but I have an issue with the story in its first pages. It's about this dude who goes into a record store to buy some rap rap and is enticed by the girl who works behind the counter. Everything's fine except the part where he's noticed that she's a thong wearer and continues to ask her out despite the fact... This is where I'm baffled. Thongs suck! What's wrong with this dude?! They're gross and give me the hee-bee-jee-bees. I just don't get the turn-on. All I can think of when those things are lifted out of the butt crack is dingle-berries. It's butt floss, man... and to those girls who say, "well, I wear them because there's no panty lines", I say, freak that! Panty lines are hot! It outlines your butt, and in most cases a girl's butt is somethig to enjoy and celebrate. Why hide that?!... I don't know. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but there's something gross and stripper like with g-strings, and it's totally gross when a girl bends over to expose a rubber banned leppard print streching into the pooper regions. Keep that shit on the stripper poll, Crystal. Ugh... Anyway, the magazine looks great besides this one little blunder. -Trippe
It’s strange that it took years for the visual art world to establish its online voice. Despite a plethora of image-sharing services such as Flickr, Tumblr, and ffffound, sites that meaningfully document the art scene have been few and far between. Over the past decade, San Francisco’s Fecal Face has risen to the top of the heap, providing the art community with its very own Pitchfork or Gawker Media through consistently strong news coverage, a dependable calendar, and tart criticism. -read on

Brooklyn based Don Porcella emailed over a few photos from his current show featuring his unique pipe cleaner sculptures @Alphonse Berber Projects here in SF (575 Sutter St.). The show Nature Boy runs through 10/2.
The meteoric rise and fall of Jean-Michel Basquiat, born 1960. In the crime-ridden NYC of the 1970s, he covers the city with the graffiti tag SAMO. In 1981 he puts paint on canvas for the first time, and by 1983 he is an artist with “rock star status.” In 1985 he and Andy Warhol become close friends and painting collaborators, but they part ways and Warhol dies suddenly in 1987. Basquiat’s heroin addiction worsens, and he dies of an overdose in 1988. The artist was 25 years old at the height of his career, and today his canvases sell for more than a million dollars. With compassion and insight, Tamra Davis details the mysteries that surround this charismatic young man, an artist of enormous talent whose fortunes mirrored the rollercoaster quality of the downtown scene he seemed to embody.
Wanna thank NYC based painter David Lyle for sending us this fantastic print. David's paintings are inspired from found photographs. He "feels that to find a lost photo and paint it, allows the photo and the memory to have a second life." We've been fans of his work for some time now. ~check some
Wanna thank marijuana dispensary The Vapor Room for being a sponsor of our 10 year anniversary show opening up on Sept 10th here in San Francisco. Funny because we don't even smoke pot here at Fecal Face, but if we did, The Vapor Room would be our jam.
