Web: http://www.111minnagallery.com
Your 111 Minna host/curator is Brad K. Alder. If you have any questions
please find him running around during the event if you are an artist or a
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:
www.ArtBusiness.com
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.

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.

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.

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

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
