View Comments First to David Choong Lee & Brian Barneclo's studio and then to Ferris Plock & Kelly Tunstall's where they prepare for a show @Stussy. We posted a news post asking people for ideas for our Arting Mondays when Mars emailed suggesting that we check out the 6th and Market studio of David Choong Lee & Brian Barneclo. Sounded good to us! So Jesse and I rode on over to find David waiting for us at the door. David is about to move out to find a larger space and to give more room to Brian as both their work is getting larger. For Brian Barneclo's silk screens. Brian Barneclo David Choong Lee David Choong Lee David Choong Lee David's been teaching painting at the Art Academy (how many buildings do they need?!) for the last 11 years. David has a few high quality books out of his work. Brian Barneclo Brian Barneclo print done with Oakland's Bloom Press. Brian Barneclo Brian Barneclo The studio has this cool two floor setup. One of my favorite films for sure. The Harder They Come Thanks for showing us around, David. Good luck with the finals! Sorry we missed Brian... And then we left the grime of 7th and Market to the much more pleasant Western Addition near Alamo Square where Kelly Tunstall and Ferris Plock share a large studio which sits under an old victorian house. The large comfortable studio is filled with so much eye candy. I see a photo of mine up on the wall! Stoked. And a Chris Duncan under the antlers. Ferris showing Jesse something. Ferris Plock Kelly Tunstall It's not uncommon to find Kelly and Ferris working while friends mill about drinking and drawing themselves. The studio is very cozy. Kelly and Ferris are working on a show together which opens next Saturday, Dec 29th, at the Upper Haight Stussy store. Ferris Kelly Ferris Kelly Kelly Kelly Tunstall Kelly Tunstall Ferris Plock Kelly Tunstall As you can obvously see, they're new work contains a lot of playing card imagery. And the gold in Ferris's work is in fact good leaf... I like it. Later Ferris and thanks for the tour. We're off to the Umbrella Christmas dinner!

Lola Dupre in Portland Dec 5th Collage artist Lola Dupre opens a new show of work on Decemeber 5th at Portland's Breeze Block Gallery -- Opening on the same day in the adjoining gallery space, artists Ryan De La Hoz and Russell Leng.

Joshua Meyers @Dolby Chadwick With a thick, impasto finish, Meyer's paintings feel like treasures. As you get lost in the jagged confusion of thick swatches of color, figures emerge in the most subtle ways. The colors are enticing, but these figures are mesmerizing. I could get lost in these canvases for days. Simply, these are some really great paintings and I highly recommend you go see them before the show closes on December 7th.

ESPO @Joshua Liner, NYC I moved home to the Bay Area about 4 years ago and recently had the opportunity to visit New York City for the first time since. Having missed Barry McGee & Raymond Pettibon by a day, I felt lucky to have an old friend clue me into the ICY Signs show when I arrived.

ClipODay - Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939 Every have one of those mornings where you start following links and the next thing you know you're watching a news reel clip of the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939 that was held on the brand new man-made Treasure Island?

Tiffany Bozic Interview Tiffany Bozic's solo show Sense of Wonder is in its final week at San Francisco's FFDG. Before this wonderful show comes to a close, we wanted to ask Bozic about her methodology, lifestyle, influences and generally what makes her tick.

Julian Lethbridge & Chuck Close @John Berggruen The John Berggruen gallery is beautiful. With floor-to-ceiling windows and a view to downtown, the Thursday night opening of NYC's Julian Lethbridge's new show Paintings was unmistakably a fancy affair. While these incredibly expensive paintings didn't do much for me, I was pleasantly surprised that I caught the Chuck Close show upstairs.

"Car Poolers" by Alejandro Cartagena Cartagena takes photographs in Monterrey, Mexico, documenting parts of everyday life there that he sees as depicting "a global issue from a local perspective." In a town that has a relatively new, booming construction market, Cartagena decided to document a side of the day laborers' lives that might not often be seen: the commute to and from work at various construction sites.

Lucetta ~ Magnetic Bike Lights Got an email from Emanuele Pizzolorusso, a Helsinki based industrial designer, yesterday to let us know about his latest project Lucetta: a smart set of two small magnetic bicycle lights. Never seen them in person. Have no idea if they're worth a hoot or not, but the concept is pretty interesting and simple. Looks like a great idea to us.
