 |
ClipOWTF
Bill O'Reilly Smears San Francisco With Surreal Pseudo-Documentary <-- All we can say is... WOW!... Photographer Stephen Karnes who emailed us the clip, summed it up best when he wrote, "I live in the secular progressive city of Portland, OR and I personally can't walk five feet without getting a handjob from gay crack addicted police officer or tripping over a homeless abortion doctor."... Well put.
|
Doodle
"Hello my name is ELBOW-TOE, and I am a doodle addict." |
Media Temple
Every once in awhile we just have to give a big ol' thank you to Media Temple who's been our hosting partner over the years. If you're looking for a place to host your site, be sure to give Media Temple a look. They've been great to us.

Jeremy Fish
We're going to be doing a studio visit with our good buddy Jeremy Fish tomorrow to check out his work for his upcoming show @Fifty24SF which opens Dec 4th here in SF... Haven't seen anything yet, but the word is that there's a lot of the good ol' fashion ol' timey going on. Think Gold Rush days... Anyway, got a question for Fish? Drop it in the comments and will ask him when we get to his studio tomorrow... See last year's studio visit. |
Piero Manzoni
HIS SHIT IS WORTH THE WEIGHT OF GOLD <-- Ok, sometimes we speak of the matter. |
Storybook Street
Round these parts this guy ElbowToe has been getting up pretty hard over the last couple years. If you love it or hate it, you gotta give props to his nasty illustration story book style. Don't see too much of this up, werdz cross-hatch!

China Heights Gallery in Sydney emailed over some photos from a recent show they had with Trent Whitehead entitled Cornucopia.
 |
Summer Nights
WE ARE SLEEPING GIANTS <-- is a nice photo series from Toronto based Brooks Reynolds. *When we checked it out the computer volume was off which is a good thing after turning it on to find a not so great song. Who knows, maybe you'll love it. We preferred looking at the photos with the sound off though.
 |
Weather
Damn, what an amazing weekend. Feel bad for you people out East as the weather here in SF is too incredible... Sorry to anyone who may have stopped through Fecal Face Dot Gallery on Sunday to find locked doors, but shit, nature called yesterday... Free Fridayz, POTD, and a bunch of other stuff is coming right up... |

Damn Nice Out
If you can, leave work early. It's retarded out there today in the city. So nice out... I'm just clocking in for the night, so if you wanna stop through Fecal Face Dot Gallery, we're open from 4-8pm, and this is the last weekend of Tiffany Bozic's show before we open Titanium Expose next Thursday. |
Paul Wackers
Congrats to a Bay Area Fecal favorite, Paul Wackers, for winning this year's Tournesol Award... Paul won $10,000 in prize money and a studio at the beautiful Headlands compound situated on sprawling rolling hills just over the Golden Gate Bridge in the Golden Gate National Park... Wait, does that mean we won't be seeing Paul @Lost Weekend anymore?! Who's going to reduce our late fees anymore?!... Billy emailed in some photos of the Tournesol 5th Anniversary show that opened this last Sunday at The Headlands Center of the Arts.

Maxwell Loren Holyoke-Hirsch
San Francisco based artist, Maxwell Loren Holyoke-Hirsch, opened A Season in Hell down there in San Jose, CA @Anno Domini Gallery last week, and Nicholas Venaglia & Pesya drove on down and brought back these great images. Maxwell's been creating art for only 3 years now. It's going to be fun watching his work mature. Keep an eye open for this guy.

 She mailed the Trippes this awesome painting as a wedding gift! |
Obama
TRAVELS WITH OBAMA <-- An interesting photo essay by photographer Callie Shell... "Four years ago Time photographer Callie Shell met Barack Obama backstage when she was covering presidential candidate John Kerry. She sent her editor more photographs of Obama than Kerry. When asked why, she said, "I do not know. I just have a feeling about him. I think he will be important down the road." Her first photo essay on Obama was two and half years ago. She has stuck with him ever since."... Saw the link @Bendpress.

7.5 Years
OUR 7.5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SHOW <-- Just stumbled upon some photos from our last big show. Damn, that shit was fun... Maybe a huge one for 10 years?!

 |
Tripp
CANDICE TRIPP <-- nice work, but knowing that somewhere at some time we were related is pretty cool too... This 23 year old resides in London. She has a show opening on the 13th @Lazardies in Newcastle. |
Brendan Monroe
Love seeing what kind of photography painters and illustrators make when they dive into it... Last week we got some photos from the great Brendan Monroe and are going to feature them in our PHOTO OF THE DAY section... No photoshop tricks here. The photos take on that cool look because Brendan believes that the film probably expired in the 80s or early 90s. Love them and, of course, Brendan's other work... We visited his studio last year (photos).
 |
Kids
ART FOR KIDS SAKE <-- is a benefit to help fund Opportunity Impact & Burt Children's Center here in San Francisco. Artist include Mike Giant, Tony Labat, Matt Irving, and many others. $40 gets you in and it's for a great cause. |
Minna
FREAK OF NATURE @111 MINNA <-- nice group show which opened last Thursday here in SF, and I ended up buying a painting... So that's why they serve alcohol at openings. Makes the $$ separation easier. I get it, but most importantly, we have a new great painting.

Prop 8
Having had just gotten married a month ago I can feel for those who now can't due to Prop 8s passing. Last night thousands took to the streets here in San Francisco to say that they're not going to give up the fight for their basic rights. SIGN THE ONLINE PETITION TO REPEAL PROP 8!!! |

Great Night!!!
How did you celebrate last night?! After heading down to YBCA for their party, we decided to keep in mellow here in FFDG with some champagne and celebrate with some friends... Have you watched Obama's speech yet?! It has to be the best we've ever heard from a politician? If not, do it now. Beautiful and amazing to hear it come from the mouth of a president of the United States. We're all very lucky. Doesn't it feel great to be an American again??!!
 Watching Obama's victory speech in FFDG |
$10
ALL OF RECEIVER'S ARTIST SHIRTS ARE NOW $10 <-- as they clear out their inventory. Well, there are only like 3 in there, but I'd get the Tofer lady tee... well, if I were a lady that is. |
Thursday Shows
First Thursday is here amoungst us once again. It's time of the month, and here are some shows we think you should check out: FREAK OF NATURE@111 MINNA <-- is a group show featuring some really great artists like Henry Gunderson, Casey Jex Smith, Andrew Schoultz, Hilary Pecis, Josh Keyes, and others.... Also check out London's street artist PAUL INSECT@FIFTY24SF... Then there's the chaos of First Thursdays @49 Geary (houses something like 15 galleries) and the surrounding galleries in on the street which runs from 5:30-7:30pm and is a good first stop, but get there early.
