We take a look at issue one from We Thieves which focuses on Canadian artists. Good looking book coming from our friends up north with nice health care and a better educational system. Fecal Face is a Canada friendly website unlike some of those other art sites.

Our NightOwlCoHolic is settling down a bit with a normal 9 to 5. Well, not really normal as he's working at kink.com photoshopping out ass dimples and smudging zits. The good news? Maybe we can get Rick to do some more blogging beginning with a tour of the Armory Building (click floor plans to tour the entire building w/ nice photos. Click on the pdfs. Pretty sweet.)? Whatcha' say, Ricky?

:: Manifest Hope : Denver ::
Over this past weekend there was an artist pilgrimage to the Rocky Mountain to stand for change, while attempting to Manifest Hope, for us as a nation and for the sake of humanity. Since world politics, global & national economics, trade, energy, and pretty much everything else is on a slippery slope with no room for, further error. Did I forget to use the word progress? All hype aside, the show looks incredible featuring this sick collaboration piece by long time personal friends; Josh Holland & Shannon Bonatakis, (keep yer eyes out, they kill) as well as many old favorites including : David Choe, Sam Flores, Alex Pardee, my little crazy hawaiian homie Aaron Martin (aka Angry Woebots), El Mac(who is beyond nasty with the can), Shepard Fairey and way too many to mention. You can see the show until the 28th. Or you can swing by Joy Engine, hands down best art website (trick toy store) in all the lower Rocky Mountains, with one time 4am paste partner of mine, Todd Berger fueling the local tanks. You can also find a healthy batch of show flix on Beauty and the Street. The clip loops so stick around! For all of you who did not already know, Denver is on the map!!!

:: The Butcher Boy ::
Hate promo trailers, but it was all I could find
1998 The Butcher Boy, based as the novel of the same name, is a film you must watch. A dark comedy which tells the story of Francis 'Francie' Brady, a schoolboy who retreats into a violent fantasy world as his troubled home life collapses. Directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire) Rewatched it last night and it's even better the second time. If you live in SF, rent it from Lost Weekend after I return it. A classic.

Jeff has worked with the fellows that made the inflatables for Paul McCarthy but, as Jeff put it, he "hasn't had as much wind trouble as him lately". If you're up there, check it out. The show has some great early Pettibon, 'Poor Richard' drawings by Philip Guston, and other great stuff by Christian Marclay, Chris Ware, Dan Clowes, Chiho Aoshima, Mr., etc...)

THE END OF THE BEGINNING <-- is a piece that Paul Menchaca wrote about New York's ever changing art ocean as money flows in and out and its effects on the artists who live there... From Greenwich Village of the 1940's to today's quickly gentrified Williamsburg, it's an interesting read of human nature and how artists change cities and how the financial markets effect art.
