Tonight our neighborhood pal, Andy Mueller, is showing some of his luscious photos from his travels here and there and down the street at Fred Segal in Santa Monica… yes, Fred Segal. Andy is dope. He does everything and he does it well. From skateboard graphics, photoshoots and his own label, The Quiet Life. He also has a great piece in our these friends show right now. Come out to SAMO tonight and say hi.

Andres Guerrero has put the finishing touches on his new gallery tucked in the Mission up in SF. Andres cut his teeth in the gallery world over in the Tenderloin with White Walls Gallery and Justin Girala. Now moving on, Guerrero Gallery is amazing. It’s a 3,000 square foot venue with high vaulted ceilings and skylights and 12 foot walls throughout. This seems like the perfect space where Andres can focus on the development and careers of some of the artists he has struck a bond with over the years. Andres is an incredibly easy going and like-able guy from the very first time you meet him. So its easy to see how he has assembled such a strong ensemble for this first show. The line-up includes Brian Willmont, Christopher Russell, Richard Colman, Aaron Noble, Ryan Scott Shaffer, Tim Diet, Ryan Wallace, Rogelio Martinez, Adam 5100, Hilary Pecis, Mark Mulroney, Ala Ebtekar, Eric Yahnker, AJ Fosik, Mike Lesage, Allister Lee, Cleon Peterson, Ryan Travis Christian, Marissa Textor, Shepard Fairey and Bill McRight. The first opening is slated for this Saturday, March 6th, 7-11pm. 2700 19th Street San Francisco, CA 94110 415.724.0771

This pal Travis Millard has a new website up. Stop by and see his drawing he did for our “These Friends” show this week. It’s pretty, pretty fucking awesome!
Fudge Factory.

This Friday, our pals at Secret Service and Deus Ex Machina are having a party. It’s worth going just to check out their new space in an old firehouse downtown. Cars, clothes, and motorcycles.

For our first opening this Friday, the good folks at RVCA have helped us out (with the huge price tag it takes to start a place) by printing us a limited edition t-shirt designed by LA based artist and This pal Mel Kadel . The shirts are limited to 200, printed on White. They are RVCA shirts so you know the quality is great. We’ll be selling them at the opening and online here. $20. Thanks Mel! Thanks RVCA! Thank You for supporting THIS!

We asked our buddy Geoff the 4 simple questions. He has some original drawings in our inaugural show, you should check it out.
-How and what was your last meal, Vegetable soup and bread -Describe your workspace in two words, light filled -Last person you gave a hug to, my daughter Phoebe -Who’s the next person you are going to talk to, the guy who works at Box Brothers in Atwater

This agent Justin Van Hoy and This pal Blake E. Marquis have a two man show that opens tomorrow night at Space 1026 in Illadelphia. If you are within 1000 miles make sure you get there.

Here is one of my favorite NK photos. He stopped by the other day, in from NY and just so happens to be one of the artists in our first show. Check out all of his numerous and great projects. He also answered our 4 questions.. -how was and what was your last meal, i had a beef and shrimp rice bowl from a japanese place I never ordered from before. i probably won’t do that again. -describe your workspace is two words, big and small -last person you gave a hug too, my friend Jen -who’s the next person you are going to talk to, I will see my neighbor Nicholas in the morning. We are building my new bedroom that i am also going to use as a small gallery space.

We just got an email from THIS pal Jason Lee alerting us to a teaser video he made of a longer documentary he made for the band Midlake. In his words “It’s a beautiful record, and I was happy to lug the old Bolex cameras out to Denton and capture the band and their world.
I hope you’ll all find your way to the new record…”
