2 Weeks Fast Time

Written by Trippe

Monday, 12 June 2006 18:25

Trippe saves up two weeks of blogness beer time in a 6MB form palette. This just might be my heaviest bloggy blog in terms of the amount of images. I was thinking of breaking it into parts, but frick that noise. I say over it and move forward. So here are people you don't know drinking beer and High Fiving!

Laura and Janean (god, that's spelled so wrong). Yasha was in town, so it was time to beer up with the best NY blogger friend lady.

Nothing like being drunk and excited about a band. Make everyone listen to them! Electrelane... I so wish I was at this show.

Chris is added to the friends who tend bar... I sound stoked or should be stoked, but I'm not. That shit's not good for productivity!

Yasha in a blogger stance

The night slowing down? Put your friends in a friend triangle!

and watch them start dancing. Nothing excites people like a human pile.

damn, Vanesa.

What happened in New York? Everyone's coming to SF for visits. Kari came out. Kari and Jessica.

Well, Kari had a bunch of art shows. She showed last Friday in Oakland at the Boontling with Chris Russell.

Kari Morris

I like her paintings

Kari and Chris

Chris's painting

Jessica and some 510!

Jacob Tillman. Kari on the DL.

Camille and Patrick Griffin

I heart Ego Park gallery in Oakland.

John Casey and I talk of Oakland politics... wait, I know nothing of Oakland. I do now though that the A's have cheap games on some Wednesdays.

Theo is alive and ... well, not so well, but he was out on a Friday night and can hold down a conversation! Glad you're doing ok, Theo... For those who don't know, Theo got jumped a couple weeks ago and was left for dead... For real. It was bad shit, but he doing good now.

Rock, Paper, Scissors.

boots!

Softball Sunday ends with Franklin in a wartime stance.

and I adjusted my bars on my whip... I didn't think I'd like it until I tried a friend's bike with flat bars. So comfortable. Mucho grande good good.

Ready to get down and dirty with some IPath when this lady comes in the office handing out free Giant's tickets... well, fuck.

No one else could go and even though I couldn't really go... Well, Mariah and I went. I made up my work from home. Oops on work for the day.

We had great seats but when it was clear that the Giants were to be destroyed by Florida, we opted for sunshine and our curiosity what it would be like to live as serfs in the nose bleeders.

The views of the bay were better than the views of the field.

Apparently not a popular place.

And then what's a game without some Red's?!

and their sweet patio?!

Sturgeon!

and then check out the ships at the Maritime Museum... Doesn't this remind you of a Chris Corrales piece?

Ol' time cars!

The strongest tug boat back in 1940. Fuckin awesome.

We dreamt of being on this ferry in 1920. So good. Can you imagine?!... I like to think there'd be a lot of swearing and spitting on the floor.

I heart boats... I mean christ, this is the who I'm named after. This shit is in my DNA.

and happy cats sunning themselves. :)

and buying nice news pants off guys hanging out at Specs. Best bar in SF!

But, seriously. You can't fuck with Tad's and the $11 meals of Ohio.

Tasty!

Meat!

seeing your friends play good music is also happy times. Fox Pause.

teresa and Miles

Tank Attack!

Bitch slap!

drink out of broken glass. tough!

Poker is on as of now. enjoy good times.

Richard drinking shitty beer is now and good times. santa claus!

winning at poker and buying your friends pitchers afterwards is good times and makes life smile all happy joy.

dressing your friends up like yourself is also good fun time of joy party!

saddest/ most perdy fucked up woman. may life be better to you.

like Miles and his guitar make for good life.

BANDES DE PUB / STRIP BOX

In a filmmaker's thinking, we wish more videos were done in this style. Too much editing and music with a lacking in actual content. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

AJ Fosik in Tokyo at The Hellion Gallery

Matt Wagner recently emailed over some photos from The Hellion Gallery in Tokyo, who recently put together a show with AJ Fosik (Portland) called Beast From a Foreign Land. The gallery gave twelve of Fosik's sculptures to twelve Japanese artists (including Hiro Kurata who is currently showing in our group show Salt the Skies) to paint, burn, or build upon.

Ferris Plock - Online Show, April 25th

FFDG is pleased to announce an exclusive online show with San Francisco based Ferris Plock opening on Friday, April 25th (12pm Pacific Time) featuring 5 new medium sized acrylic paintings on wood.

GOLD BLOOD, MAGIC WEIRDOS

Backwoods Gallery in Melbourne played host to a huge group exhibition a couple of weeks back, with "Gold Blood, Magic Weirdos" Curated by Melbourne artist Sean Morris. Gold Blood brought together 25 talented painters, illustrators and comic artists from Australia, the US, Singapore, England, France and Spain - and marked the end of the Magic Weirdos trilogy, following shows in Perth in 2012 and London in 2013.

Jeremy Fish at LA's Mark Moore Gallery

San Francisco based Fecal Pal Jeremy Fish opened his latest solo show Hunting Trophies at LA's Mark Moore Gallery last week to massive crowds and cabin walls lined with imagery pertaining to modern conquest and obsession.

John Felix Arnold III on the Road to NYC

Well, John Felix Arnold III is at it again. This time, he and Carolyn LeBourgios packed an entire show into the back of a Prius and drove across the country to install it at Superchief Gallery in NYC. I met with him last week as he told me about the trip over delicious burritos at Taqueria Cancun (which is right across the street from FFDG and serves what I think is the best burrito in the city) as the self proclaimed "Only overweight artist in the game" spilled all the details.

FRENCH in Melbourne

London based illustrator FRENCH recently held a show of new works at the Melbourne based Mild Manners

Henry Gunderson at Ever Gold, SF

Ever Gold opened a new solo show by NYC based Henry Gunderson a couple Saturday nights ago and it was literally packed. So packed I couldn't actually see most of the art - but a big crowd doesn't seem like a problem. I got a good laugh at what I would call the 'cock climbing wall' as it was one of the few pieces I could see over the crowd. I haven't gotten a chance to go back and check it all out again, but I'm definitely going to as the paintings that I could get a peek at were really high quality and intruiguing. You should do the same.

Mario Wagner @Hashimoto

Mario Wagner (Berkeley) opened his new solo show A Glow that Transfers Creativity last Saturday night at Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco.

Serge Gay Jr. @Spoke Art

The paintings in the show are each influenced by a musician, ranging from Freddy Mercury, to Madonna, to A Tribe Called Quest and they are so stylistically consistent with each musician's persona that they read as a cohesive body of work with incredible variation. If you told me they were each painted by a different person, I would not hesitate to believe you and it's really great to see a solo show with so much variety. The show is fun, poppy, very well done, and absolutely worth a look and maybe even a listen.

NYCHOS Mural on Ashbury and Haight

NYCHOS completed this great new mural on the corner of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco on Tuesday. Looks Amazing.

Sun Milk in Vienna

With rising rent in SF and knowing mostly other young artists without capitol, I desired a way to live rent free, have a space to do my craft, and get to see more of the world. Inspired by the many historical artists who have longed similar longings I discovered the beauty of artist residencies. Lilo runs Adhoc Collective in Vienna which not only has a fully equipped artists creative studio, but an indoor halfpipe, and private artist quarters. It was like a modern day castle or skate cathedral. It exists in almost a utopic state, totally free to those that apply and come with a real passion for both art and skateboarding

"How To Lose Yourself Completely" by Bryan Schnelle

I just wanted to share with you a piece I recently finished which took me 4 years to complete. Titled "How To Lose Yourself Completely (The September Issue)", it consists of a copy of the September 2007 issue of Vogue magazine (the issue they made the documentary about) with all faces masked with a sharpie, and everything else entirely whited out. 840 pages of fun. -Bryan Schnelle

The Marsh Barge - Traveling the Mississippi River from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico

For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to quit my job, move out of my house, leave everything and travel again. So on August 21, 2013 I pushed a canoe packed full of gear into the headwaters of the Mississippi River in Lake Itasca, Minnesota, along with four of my best friends. Exactly 100 days later, I arrived at a marina near the Gulf of Mexico in a sailboat.

Flavio Samelo's Downtown Sao Paulo Murals

Our buddy Flavio Samelo down there in Brazil does all kinds of great work including this recent mural project in downtown Sao Paulo in front of one of the most important modern buildings of Oscar Niemeyer from the 60's, THE COPAN.

"Portrait of a Slugger 19" by Hiro Kurata

Beautiful painting by NYC based Hiro Kurata now on display at SF's FFDG through April 19th as part of the group show "Salt the Skies".

Ryan De La Hoz at Seattle's Flatcolor
Tuesday, 22 April 2014 10:52

SEATTLE --- San Francisco based Ryan De La Hoz opens a show of new works at Flat Color on May 1st. We love Ryan's work and have shown it many times throughout the years. Ryan will be also showing at LA - Juxtapoz Psychedelic Show, The Well, LA, CA April 26th 2014 - SF - Paper Cuts, Spoke Art, SF, CA May 3rd 2014

Working in unconventional mediums such as woven blankets, puzzles, and faux marble, De La Hoz has pioneered an innovative style in a class of its own. Collages of white noise, flowers and tie-dye are all hand cut and assembled to create mystic portals of intrigue. Heavily influenced by themes of death and rebirth, past and present, and the collision of modern culture with antiquity; Form and Void is mysterious look into the odyssey of creation, destruction, and an examination of society at large. -show details

Hats, all over prints, 5 panel hats... it's all a bit obvious, but it's also how we dress and the QUIET LIFE'S PALM SPRINGS COLLECTION is looking breezy for the summer with no socks in the desert dust. ~take a tour

"Arrangement" by Michelle Fleck
Friday, 18 April 2014 10:23

This morning we take a closer look at this beautiful painting by San Francisco based Michelle Fleck now showing at FFDG.

Arrangement measures 24"x30", acrylic and aerosol on panel - inquires: info(at)ffdg.net

Michelle Fleck is a painter living in San Francisco. Her work focuses on the relationship between man and the landscape, and the marks we leave on it. Influenced by everyday life in the city, her paintings serve as snapshots of an ongoing intersection of the natural and man-made world. She strives to make work that has a sense of relevancy in a culture driven by a need for change and newness.

Met up with Jeremy Fish last night to catch up and discuss his upcoming solo show opening this August at San Francisco's FFDG. Don't want to give too much away, but the guy is very busy these days. You know the giant pink bronze statue will be built and installed at the corner of Haight and Laguna welcoming those to the Haight (check) in 2015? Going to be incredible.

Check photos from his last San Francisco solo show in 2012, and mark your calendar for August as his next solo show opens at FFDG.

Statue Of A Homeless Jesus Startles A Wealthy Community
Monday, 14 April 2014 10:20

Sculpture of Jesus as homeless and sleeping on a park bench is "freaking out" the neighbors of this wealthy NC suburb. The sculptor, who has an affinity for street art, created it to remind us that "We believe that that's the kind of life Jesus had," Buck says. "He was, in essence, a homeless person." ~READ ON

Art or Vandalism? See the World’s First Graffiti Drone
Saturday, 12 April 2014 10:30

I attached a cradle with a spray paint can and other hardware to the drone. I created a series of paintings that are larger, about maybe 3 feet by 3 feet all the way up to 25 feet by 15 feet … And basically, I achieved the perfect air pressure, the perfect weight of the paint and the perfect materials so that the drone didn’t freak out when I attached these mechanisms to it, Katsu said. --continue reading

Think how high those throw ups can be now.
