buyer.
111 Minna Gallery is pleased to announce the eighth 'Sketch Tuesdays' of
2011 and the 60th time we've held the event! Each month the gallery
hosts an evening of live art making featuring both established and
emerging Bay Area artists. Inspired by Southern Exposure’s Monster
Drawing Rally, 111 Minna offers patrons the opportunity to see local
artists at work and get acquainted with them. It is also a way for
artists to meet each other and to be inspired by each other’s creative
process.
Sketch Tuesdays offers the local arts community a place to congregate,
to talk, to create and to be seen. There is usually room for artists to
just drop in and start drawing, but the good seats are reserved for the
invited artists.
Art is for sale at reasonable prices and will be displayed until the
event closes. This is a great opportunity to become a collector and to
meet some very talented people!!
Check out video coverage here
"..another example of really good value and the fun of collecting is the
once a month Sketch Tuesdays at 111 Minna; 20 artists set up and draw
or paint. Then they put it on the wall for between $5 and $30; the work
is beautiful, cheap and plentiful" - Ron Turner, Last Gasp
"Once a month 111 Minna hosts Sketch Tuesdays featuring live drawing
from local Bay Area artists. They drink and create and then sell their
works for ridiculously low prices. I mean you can get some work from
established artists for like $10. Granted the work isn't one of their
best, but shit, if you ain't got the cash to buy a $1,500 piece by one
of your favorites, $10 sounds pretty good to me. You can start
collecting some of your favorites without breaking the bank... But
besides all the art buying possibilities, it's just a good time. Drink
with your friends and watch talented artists create." - John Trippe,
Fecal Face Dot Com
“As evidenced by the endless hoopla surrounding Bob Ross's television
escapades, the artistic process is something people want to know more
about. In response to this irrepressible need, 111 Minna Gallery offers
up Sketch Tuesdays. The event itself intends to foster new relationships
within the local visual art community, hopefully birthing dialogue, new
ideas, and collaboration” - Michael Harkin, SF Bay Guardian
"The basic idea is that artists get together and hang out and make art
and then they put it up for sale. The prices are exceptionally
magnanimously marvelous, ranging from $6 to $30, most under $20. And
we're talkin' good art by good artists. So for those of you who love
art, but who aren't doctors, lawyers, investment bankers, shipping
magnates, patricians, children of privilege, and so on and so forth,
Sketch Tuesdays is very possibly the best option in town to jump start
that art collection you've always dreamed of having."
- Alan Bamberger, ArtBusiness.com. Thank you Alan for your mind-numbingly radical documentation of art in SF. Please visit:

Sketch Tuesdays at 111 Minna Gallery was founded by artist and curator Sacha Eckes in 2006, meaning this is the 60th one held. For history of artists who have participated in Sketch Tuesdays go here and type Sketch Tuesdays. Over eight hundred artists have participated in this event since it's inception, and growing.

This editor has been posting images from his life for the last 13 years. Cats, sailboats and living one's life in the city of San Francisco. Visual randomness.

| Michael Alan Interview
These days New York-native multimedia artist, Michael Alan, has been incredibly active artistically in the big city. Between staging hours-long Living Installations at the New Museum and other DIY spaces, exhibiting his drawings and paintings in group exhibitions and hosting an unusual solo show in the home of his mother, Alan proves that there is no rest for the wicked. I caught up with him recently to hear the latest, the backstory, and what's next.

Brendan Monroe, whose show Melting Into the Floor runs through June 15th at LA's Richard Heller, creates these great wooden sculptures and featured a bunch in the show... He's often asked how he goes about making them and gives us at Fecal Face a little 'how to' on the process.

| Mural by Curiot (+Mexico)
Mexico City based Curiot, whose sold out solo show Age of Omuktlans ran last March at FFDG, just finished this great mural entitled "El Retorno de Akhankutli" in Mexico. He recently completed one in Berlin too which we'll be posting in the coming week. The guy is very very talented in our eyes.

This made our day. Not only do we love pizza but we also love Henry Gunderson... So a board shapped like a hot slice designed by Henry Gunderson for The Good Company, well... this writer needs to go for a slice right now.

| Wendell McShine @Fifty24SF
Wendell McShine (lives in Mexico City, from Trinidad) opened his newest show, Raccoon's Law, at Fifty24SF on Saturday night. ARYZ was a tough act to follow, but McShine held his own in the space... With a combination of a mural, a video, and both drawings and mixed-media works on paper, the diversity of this solo show was impressive. The Raccoon drawings were especially attractive as the way he executed them looked like they actually had fur coming off the page, and you can only imagine how soft it would be to touch. I was lucky to see his work in person through this show, and I hope to encounter more in the future.

| The Tornatos in Moore, OK by Justin Clemons
I got there the day after the tornado came through. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. My mind just could not grasp what my eyes were seeing. It was just too much to take in, too much to process. So, I did what comes naturally and took images. It sort of helped me separate from the chaos and helped me focus.

| John Felix Arnold III in Japan (Part 4)
Well, it looks like John Felix Arnold rocked Tokyo with his opening with Koutaro Ooyama at Spes Lab a few weeks back. Even a language barrier couldn't prevent the success of their collaboration. They invited everyone they met on trains, in cars, cafes, bars, restaurants, and people responded by attending, and bringing their families and friends as well.

| Sanjay & Craig Premiere Party (+LA)
Last Thursday evening, I was lucky enough to get invited to Nickelodeon's premiere party for their newest cartoon, Sanja & Craig, created by three awesome dudes - Andreas Trolf, Jim Dirschberger, and Jay Howell. Hosted at Tony's Salon with pizza provided by Pizzanistas, the premiere party was filled with libations and celebrations, even a break-dance battle broke out. Congrats to everyone who worked on the show, and especially Trolf, Jim, and Jay who all have been working tirelessly on it. Sanja & Craig premiered Saturday 10:30 am 11 am on Nickelodeon. You can watch Sanjay and Craig Episode 1: Brett Venom on hulu. and read about how the guys came up with it in this interview with The LA Times. Now, here's some photos from the premiere.
