Come to the Firehouse art opening at OgilvyWest Thursday night. Showing new, rare, and killer hand-screened prints from Firehouse Kustom Rockart Co. Pouring ice-cold Lagunitas. And rolling a huge chunk of American Artifact. RSVP here.
Then catch the premier at the Red Vic Movie House on Haight. (Make sure to ask for brewer’s yeast on your popcorn … Sooo good.)
Watch the video above to see how artist Jorge Colombo painted yesterday’s New Yorker cover on his iPhone. Then snag the Brushes App and paint something half as nice.
Was lucky to catch the Saturday-nite opening of “Artful Distractions” at Boomerang Gallery in Petaluma. Drippy, kinetic, and very promising stuff. Come check it out.
Jonny with the singer/subject of his portrait, Bill. Guess who’s who.
The Jonny Hirschmugl work is further proof of the kick-ass job Drew Washer (of Heebee Jeebee fame) has been doing—giving exposure to young, fresh talent in Petaluma. Keep it up, Drew!

Action shot. Check Sperry gave us a sneak peek at some of what’ll be shown. Dig that Mogwai print. They’ve assured us our halls will be “littered with Firehouse prints”. Bring it!
Did the moth fly in from the window or out from Ron Donovan’s shorts?
Ask him June 4.
“…Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women. Cons: Only 3 wolves…” –B. Govern
“…I accidentally spilled a glass of Tuscan Whole Milk down the front of this shirt, and my soul was torn from my body and thrown into heaven by a jealous God.” –Chaon
Exhibit B:
What’s better than shirts with wolves? Shirts with wolves being ridden by hot chicks. Too bad the comments aren’t as good. Threadless Tee by Dick Firestone. (via Uncrate)
Remember how Sufjan Stevens was gonna do an album for every state? I think he’s done like two in six years. C’mon man.
Illustrator, writer, and designer, Frank Chimero, has been turning the silhouettes of our 50 states into animals and other stuff for only a year. He’s already done 17. Take that, Sufjan.
This Saturday @ 7 pm, The Mills College Art Museum will open its ’09 Exhibition Young Americans, featuring works by their 2009 Master of Fine Arts degree recipients.
Brian Caraway, Friend of the Umlaut and one of the eight lucky artists, gave us a peek inside his studio during the final weeks of prep. Days before shaving his time-lapse beard.
