^^^^^^^ Hi-Fructose | Future Colors of America
"The Future Colors of America, the trifecta consisting of Albert Reyes (who now lives in LA), Matt Furie, and Aiyana Udesen, have created their own illustrative voice, a worldview who's origins are seemingly found uniquely in San Francisco (Jay Howell, Ferris Plock, and Porous Walker spring to mind as well), that is expressed with a DIY sensibility, illustrative aesthetic, and fuck-all attitude who's charmingly hilarious pop commentary is indicative of something we don't feel comfortable defining, but goddammit, we like it." -Hi-Fructose 7/19/10
KQED | Maxwell Loren Holyoke-Hirsch
"The artist's line work is simple but incredibly expressive. A shoe or a hairdo are represented as one blob of color but are still distinct and familiar." -KQED 11/18/09
KQED | (video) Gallery Crawl
In September 2009 GALLERY CRAWL headed to Fecal Face Dot Gallery to interview Mel Kadel and have a look at her new exhibition, ECHO TEST. Kadel incorporates vintage patterns, yellowed paper, and a persevering heroine into many of her works. -KQED 10/22/09
SF Examiner | Henry Gunderson
"Although his paintings express a self-assuredness and skill level beyond his years, Gunderson’s youth shows in explanations that are sometimes vague, perhaps still forming." -SF Examiner 7/23/09
SF Chronicle | Jesse Balmer
"The yucca trees of the San Francisco artist's San Juan Capistrano youth have been propagating in his stark black-and-white sumi ink paintings, organic oddities amid his drawings of two-faced monsters, snaggletoothed cretins and dark, interplanetary goonscapes oozing with creepy, crawly grotesques." -SF Chronicle 7/9/09
ArtSlant | Damon Soule
"Materializing space into a simple geometry, Damon Soule works in the fissure between pop surrealism, neo cubism and fractalism." -ArtSlant 5/26/09
SF Magazine | The Young and Hungry Have Arrived
"A young gallerist with international ambitions, the story goes, is doomed in San Francisco. The artists don't struggle. The collectors are in hiding. The counterculture associations won't die. But that was then. Now, the risk takers are here." -San Francisco Magazine 4/10/09
X Press | Jeremy Fish
"Fish has created album covers, signature shoe designs, skateboard decks and even beaver-shaped vibrators, but has never used a two and three dimension combination in this fashion." -X Press 2/24/09
Art Slant | Paul Urich
"I applaud Urich's nimble gouache application here, the monochromatic touches so subtle and fused to the page they appear like ghostly photo transfers." -Art Slant 1/13/09
Flavorpill | Paul Urich
"Urich haunts his viewers with faint sketches of anonymous folk culled from old family albums. " -Flavorpill 1/7/09
SF Weekly | Paul Urich - Soul Proprietor
"This is memento mori with hope - that you might be memorialized so tenderly." -SF Weekly 1/7/09
Sour Harvest | Tiffany Bozic @FFDG
"We own two of her works and they are just stunning in person, highly suggest checking her work out if you are able." -Sour Harvest 10/24/08

Flavorpill | West, Wester, Westest
"These artists, their westward expansion notwithstanding, are definitely on the way to somewhere promising." -Flavorpill 10/4/08
Art Slant | Pipes, Polar Bears, Stairways and Ships - Tara Foley solo show
"This show leaves you with quite a bit to think about and a sense of the inexplicable. Are we somehow stuck building a stairway to nowhere, our rifles all the while trained on the last vestiges of our natural world?" -Art Slant 6/16/08
SF Weekly | "Say Hello to Neverending": Paintings by Tara Foley
"It's this imaginative hyperesthesia that makes Foley's work so heart-rending, and so exquisite." -SF Weekly 6/11/08
SF Weekly | Best New Art Gallery Award
"With Fecal Face Dot Gallery on the case, the art scene is likely to get much more interesting, and the parties much more fun." -SF Weekly 5/28/08

KQED | Art Review : Fecal Face Dot Gallery
"Scoff at the name all you want, Fecal Face Dot Gallery is the newest local spot for art that appeals to snot-nosed kids and grown-up art snobs alike. It's got a gross name, but it can be a family place." -KQED Radio 5/25/08
SF Bay Guardian | Fecal Face Dot Gallery goes solo with Kottie Paloma
"These drawings are meant to be crude and rough, which is how these people look or act in real life." -SF Bay Guardian 4/24/08
LastNight: Fecal Face Art Gallery Opens
"As the site's editor John Trippe told us last week, the name Fecal Face is something that sounded funny when he was 22, and he never imagined it would have the success that it's had." -SF Weekly 2/25/08
