Our intern Joy went and checked out this street design fair in Hayes Valley in SF a week or so ago. DIY and stuff.

Hayes Valley
Last Sunday was the semi-annual Capsule Design Festival in Hayes Valley. Usually street fairs are boring and lame no matter what the event is with the same tired vendors trying to push the same old shit. Generic art, ethnocentric wares, crafty goods, unique handcrafted jewelry, meat on sticks... you get the picture. Most times the only way to cope is to make a beeline for the beer stands and guzzle as much overpriced cheap beer as you can whilst cultivating that perfect white trash sunburn. AND if your anything like me and lets hope youre not, the way it inevitably turns out is that during some moment of beer soaked euphoria, you are charmed by some treasurable find and return home with a souvenir that ends up being thrown into a box under the bed labeled Duped Again.
Well, this one was different. There was no food. No beer. No sun.
No fun you must say?! On the contrary, it was actually quite nice. It was far from your typical craft fair and to call it that would probably be an insult to all parties involved. Nope, it was a design festival with artist backgrounds ranging from fashion, textiles, and apparel, to jewelry, art, print, housewares and even make-up! All pretty cool! I attended curious to see what our local design community had to offer and discovered some talented folks in the mix.
Here is my day in photos...
Follow the designy looking people.
I went to the festival alone with the idea in mind that Id run into people I would know. Lo and behold one of the very 1st tables I visited was ran by Dan and my friend Seanie. For a respectable city, SF never fails to disappoint in reminding you how small it really is.
His design company is called Spooky Vutron.
These gals screenprinted canvas messenger bags. I knew I shouldnt have waited 5 days to post this. I done forgot their names. :P But I do have their website! Ladypom.com
This is Rebecca. I chatted her up because I really liked the stuff she had. Her boyfriend James designed the Tshirts and she created the bags and pencil cases. Some of the T-shirts were even hand stenciled.
Each individual pencil case has original artwork (Loretta Nguyen) drawn directly on the material making each piece unique. Super cute!
Cross your eyes and stare really hard.
Just kidding. That doesnt do anything.
Squink Industries
Another run-in. Unless you are a certified hermit, you live here long enough and you run into everybody and their mother! This is Alex and Danielle. I used to work with Alex at the worst company ever to taint SFs gracious soil. They ran their company like Hitler ran Germany. Except without the genocide. Or the moderate success of running a well oiled nazi regime. Or blind adoration from their minions. Or
Ok, point is they sucked. Many TV shows and movies have been inspired by crapholes like them.
Live painting by Pacific Art Collective.
And here is Alyssa and Rannie. Theyre designers too! They do stuff for Readymade magazine.
AWWWW YEAAA, BUCKET OBELTS!!!
This is Kate. Shes an artist/designer that ran a really sweet table with her own embroidered bags and cards. She says she checks fecal face everyday. Need I say more? She knows the dealio!
Like what you see?
Go here for more.
Stuff.
I passed by this table eyeing these sweet treats hoping they were enhanced. Sadly, they werent. Silly me. Whered I think I was? San Francisco?
This is David. I really dug his artwork so I asked for his business card and his title said Bounty Hunter in big bold red letters. When I asked him if that was for real he said no.
This is Ashley. She created these cool earrings using her own original photography documented from her personal experiences.
Learn more about her earrings here.
I had no clue this cool boutique existed until that day, even though according to my friends its been there for a while.
there goes my deluded sense of self.
This is Henry. He sells deconstructed Tshirts that he designed the screenprints for. He was very friendly and super cool and spent some time explaining to me how screenprinting wasnt enough for him and how he wanted to lend his shirts some originality by deconstructing them.
Right about this time is when my camera battery died with still one more block to cover. I considered calling it a day but instead decided I might as well go through the trouble to make the quick jaunt home for a recharge and then come back. Hows that for dedication?
Welcome to Capsule Design Festival, Part II.
This lovely ladys name is Hilary and she designs handmade dolls. They are definitely one of a kind.
My fourth failed attempt to get little guy Lily to look at the camera. Gosh darn sweet stupid! Whos a good puppy??
Square six. The Rock On card tickles my funny bone.
buttons, buttons, BUTTONS!
Meet the talented Hannah. She is a graphic designer/illustrator whose worked with Ordinary Kids as well as other notable clients.
Love her stuff.
Whelp, this concludes my photo documentation. There were 140 designers set up and obviously I hardly covered a quarter of them but I hope that its enough to give you a little taste of what to expect for this event. Be sure to check it out when they set up their next one in the fall. Ok, bye bye.

Peter Gronquist @The Shooting Gallery
If you like guns and boobs, head on over to the Shooting Gallery; just don't expect the work to be all cheap ploys and hot chicks. With Make Stuff by Peter Gronquist (Portland) in the main space and Morgan Slade's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow in the project space, there is plenty spectacle to be had, but if you look just beyond it, you might actually get something out of the shows.

NYCHOS @Fifty24SF

He's been steadily filling our city with murals over the last year, with one downtown on Geary St. last summer, and new ones both in the Haight and in Oakland within the last few weeks, but it was really great to see his work up close and in such detail.

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.

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.

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.

Gone Fishin'
Tuesday, 13 October 2015 11:39
I don't think at this point it needs to be written since the last update to Fecal Face was a long time ago, but...
I, John Trippe, have put this baby Fecal Face to bed. I'm now focusing my efforts on running ECommerce at DLX which I'm very excited about... I guess you can't take skateboarding out of a skateboarder.
It was a great 15 years, and most of that effort can still be found within the site. Click around. There's a lot of content to explore.
Hit me up if you have any ECommerce related questions. - trippe.io
SF Giants' World Series Trophy & DLX

I'm not sure how many people are lucky enough to have The San Francisco Giants 3 World Series trophies put on display at their work for the company's employees to enjoy during their lunch break, but that's what happened the other day at Deluxe. So great.

The Death of the Artist—and the Birth of the Creative Entrepreneur
Wednesday, 21 January 2015 10:34
When works of art become commodities and nothing else, when every endeavor becomes “creative” and everybody “a creative,” then art sinks back to craft and artists back to artisans—a word that, in its adjectival form, at least, is newly popular again. Artisanal pickles, artisanal poems: what’s the difference, after all? So “art” itself may disappear: art as Art, that old high thing. Which—unless, like me, you think we need a vessel for our inner life—is nothing much to mourn.
Hard-working artisan, solitary genius, credentialed professional—the image of the artist has changed radically over the centuries. What if the latest model to emerge means the end of art as we have known it? --continue reading

In Wake of Attack, Comix Legend Says Satire Must Stay Offensive

"[Satire] is important because it brings out the flaws we all have and throws them up on the screen of another person," said Turner. “How they react sort of shows how important that really is.” Later, he added, "Charlie took a hit for everybody." -read on

NYPD told to carry spray paint to cover graffiti
Wednesday, 21 May 2014 10:37
NYC --- A new graffiti abatement program put forth by the police commissioner has beat cops carrying cans of spray paint to fill in and cover graffiti artists work in an effort to clean up the city --> Many cops are thinking it's a waste of resources, but we're waiting to see someone make a project of it. Maybe instructions for the cops on where to fill-in?
The NYPD is arming its cops with cans of spray paint and giving them art-class-style lessons to tackle the scourge of urban graffiti, The Post has learned.
Shootings are on the rise across the city, but the directive from Police Headquarters is to hunt down street art and cover it with black, red and white spray paint, sources said... READ ON
