I recently took my first trip out to San Francisco for an opening at Gallery 1988. Here are a few pics I took, there are a few more over on flickr. You can see the artwork from the show over here, hopefully one of you has an 8' wall just begging for a giant monster.



Thursday I did some set up, mostly rebuilding my stretchers and stretching the canvas.


Friday morning after some canvas tweaking it was dumpling time at House of Nanking with Ferocious J.


Spent the rest of Friday walking around town, saw some nice street art and galleries in the Mission.
Ended up stopping by Super 7 to say hello to Brian.


Then it was show time!


My friend Kelly stopped in to say a surprise hello.

Hopefully everyone had a good time, the festivities were somewhat dampened by the large spontaneous Prop 8 protest happening a few blocks away. For some reason people seem to think that standing up for equal human rights is more important than an art show, the nerve!

I hope to make it back to San Francisco some time for more than 48 hours, it seemed like a lovely city.

And now, go eat more corn syrup.

Hello San Francisco (and immediate area) residents (and imposters)!

I will be coming to your lovely city for the first time! There is a little art show at a gallery that I have a few pieces in, I hope that you can make it to the opening so that I may say hello to you! I will have a few framed creature drawings for sale, along with a medium sized painting (pictured below) and a very large painting (sorta pictured below). Suggestions on things to do for a day in SF are welcome!
