Matthew Palladino had a pair of shows at RVCA recently
No Rest 4 The Wickd
Actually a portrait group show with Grant LaValley (whoa), David Benzler, Clay Gardner, Erin Allen, Seth Scantlen, Shuntaro Takeuchi & Kazuma Mikami - curated by David Kasprzak, moreinfo
New works preview for a Philly show in June at Space1026
Alexis Mackenzie (also known as Alexis Anne Mackenzie) is the artist featured at Park Life this month, the work is very intriguing for its multiple dimensions
I like how when you get up close some, there's more to it being just beautiful collages
The pieces are priced kinda high, hope it sells
Rest of my pictures
This is a new production on Mission & 19th by Buter, Wand and Keb (not sure who did the characters who really shine here). This mural has also been dubbed DC vs Marvel
It only looks like I am trying to have a 100% Threadless wardrobe. Here's a compilation of all the things I bought there (mostly tshirts, the most recent ones are listed first)
I spent $1,271.24 on 36 orders, dang
Some numbers (entered 3 orders so far, will update later)
- 20 items
- 1 hoodie, 5%
- 2 select tees, 10%
- 13 gifts, 65% (this will decrease as I add old orders, I own a lot more..)
- 1 misc (magazines etc), 20%
- average per order $35
- last order June 2010
- first order May 2005
Got this late present from my brother. Le Tag was a graffiti "expo" held at the museum Le Grand Palais in Paris which ended in May 2009
Just having that take place there was quite a stroke of genius. 150 artists from around the world worked on the theme of love, the format was a rigid two-canvas sized at 60 x 180 cm (~ 23 x 70 in)
Néanmoins je ne pense pas que c'est un très bon book, merci quand même Denis
This piece by L'Atlas is one my favorites, it's simple and has style. It's not graf but this kid gets up and it rules anyway
This straight letter work by Utah is quite the jam too
SF was represented, the above is by Vulcan. See more photos from the book

This show was very similar to the one I saw at Great American a year ago, except Mezzanine kinda sux. Got to stand pretty close though, the crowd was hipsdom but pretty mellow
With a lineup of Anthony, Morgan and kick ass drum guy, the set seemed a bit short, and at the same time it was long enough for these old legs :-(
Morgan Kibby went thru some metamorphosis from her long curly hair/flannel shirt last time. She shed her glasses and got a cool haircut, wearing a pretty revealing almost see thru top. The makeup job though was the best, a sideways streak thing across the face over one eye. She wins. Her dancing at the end of the show was super awesome. Keep it hyphy girl
Another revelation was Sitting with the "let's go" sample, good fun (from the 2003 album M83)
Highlights
- the last instrumental he did for the intro, beastly (from Digital Shades)
- We own the sky
- Graveyard girl
- Kim and Jessie
- Sitting
- Couleurs (so love this song)
Elsewhere Nicole sorta hated it, more from BC and SF Appeal (thx for using my picture, you don't have to ask but you could give me credit.. whack)
PS the show gave us a chance to check out the new Italian restaurant 54 Mint, make sure to try the Arancina
Anthony makes the best cookies
In San Francisco
Probably
This little shop opened a few weeks ago and is doing well. It's clearly a labor of love for owner / super baker Anthony Lucas (also friendliest dude ever)
I've had cookies before, fresh ones or whatever, Anthony's are incredible. They are 6 or $5, go get some
Chocolate chip ones are good, make sure you check out my favorite (pictured): the toffee chip
My dad has an iPhone and he's been sending me pictures today from 4am to 1pm (he may not quite be live-blogging yet). They are from his 3-star Michelin meal at Lameloise, a little place 300 km from Paris
Here are some photos from the March Park Life show curated by Rich Jacobs
There was a whole sensorial thing with the suitcase here to the right. Trippy (if you are drawn to Ian Johnson on the left, he has a solo show at White Walls opening Saturday)
This was a good show with eclectic pieces (wish I flicked the work by Kyle Ranson). Park Life continues to amaze me everytime I go there, the real San Francisco treat
Here are some pictures of "Ghosts Of The Barbaby Coast", an impressive show by Jeremy Fish late last year. The opening was nuts so this was a few weeks after
So many pieces around the gold rush theme
There were installations and wood work, Fish really goes beyond the page
There's fantastic art up at 835 Larkin for the month of April (White Walls, Shooting Gallery and now the new Gallery Three, rip the 6th St location)
First up, Erik Foss and Curse Mackey curated over 400 drawings for SG.. a lot of sexual stuff but it's good overall
It's a lot of fun to browse the catalog/price list and see familiar names.. or alternately check out the art then double back against the list. The people working there did an admirable job with so many pieces
I was excited about Mike Shine who I've been following a bit but it's really Caleb Neelon who "shines" at WW
I'd say the best is upstairs in the repurposed space with Adam Flores, "Winter Warz" deserves to be seen
Had a grand time at the Fox Theater last nite, that place is a three level gem (that was some good bucks spent on the renovation but holy.. $83 Million?). Even the floor is tiered with 3 levels
Bonus: the Fox Theater is close to Bart too, 19th St station
Wandered around originally looking for seats but they were assigned, I guess we have to go on the floor. Missed the opener (Menomena, who?), enjoyed some good drinks instead (well, as good as they were expensive)
Bloc Party took the stage around 9pm. The sound was kinda saturated (could never hear when Kele was talkin to us.. or maybe I was standing too close). The band did good as always, great energy (well mostly Kele and the Tong). I still marvel at the sounds that come out of Russel's guitars, kid is a beast (funny tidbit: Matt Tong kept his shirt well into the set, maybe like 6 to 7 songs, a record?). Best Gordon moment: there was one, but I forget
Oh yeah can you believe Kele crowd surfed during the 2nd encore? Wild. Lucy said he lost his shoe
The modern concert going experience, photo time!
Lot of pics came out blurry, my new camera is the suck
Set list (thx)
One month off
Trojan horse
Hunting for witches
Positive tension
Talons so so
Signs hella best
Song for clay
Banquet
Where is home they played this?? hmm so mellow
Blue light
Mercury kinda whack
This modern love
The prayer
Helicopter
-
Sunday incredible solo
Ares kinda whack
Flux song is awesome live
Like eating glass
-
She's hearing voices
Overall an excellent show with some minor set list question marks
Well, most everyone has deserted flickr for rotzy, facebook, picasa or some other bs..
So now flickr is like graffiti, all day. Here are some peeps killin it with the best bay area stuff, on the regular (Mr. Funk excluded, anyone who has booksout is already hyphy, so $$$). In no order:
Soundwaves
Great name, postin a lot, old and new, stretching to LA and what not.. I think and hope he takes all these pics although this one is like, funny. Scratch it to the homage tip
Drowned Man
Kid is nuts and goes to all the cool spots.. mostly in the east bay. He also has major stitch game
f--- molly
Another east bay head. I like how he busts out some black and white sometimes
