Jeremy Dan Fish, born in Albany New York, 1974. “At first glance, Fish's images seem to be rooted in an alternate world -- a world where gnomes travel via saddled dachshund-back and birds of all nations hatch adorned with the heads and hairstyles of every human stereotype imaginable. The bold, precise outlines give his ideas an immediate impact, but it's the aftertaste that really cuts deep. Everything comes with a story. I have never known Jeremy to create something without a reason for it to exist and an accompanying tale. His pictures are built from the simplest ingredients, ingredients with which the everyman can identify. I've been around the world and met a lot of "artists" who eat, shit, and breathe inside a bubble of self-aggrandizement, armies of yes-men at their sides ready to toot the bugles for every flimsy "breakthrough" they put forth. Jeremy Fish avoids that typecasting by boiling his intentions down to their most elemental forms: he makes pictures, he makes a lot of them, he makes them for himself, he makes them for the people, and he makes them from the heart. I am proud to say that I look up to him. You should too.” –Aesop Rock

so,

like i said in my last post, i drove most of route 66 with my father recently. i had planned to use the photos he took along the trip (he took thousands, and i took none) and use them to write a bunch of content for my blog. my plan was to use the images to describe the decaying guts that is americas roadside. sadly, my dad somehow deleted ALL these images. so i just grabbed a few off the web to remind anyone who cares to get out and see whats left of route 66. eat some BBQ, drive an old car. remember when america was still good times.

 *my blog will be about art and art related things again soon. i am working on a solo show at the laguna art museum that opens in november. more on that soon...at the moment, its still top secret...not really.

my good pals mel kadel and travis millard are currently crashing at my house getting ready for mel's show on thursday at the fecal face dot gallery here in san francisco. if you are in the bay area do yourself a favor and see her show. mel is not only SUPER talented and original, she is a skee ball champion.
 
 
Echo Test, the first San Francisco solo exhibition of new pen-and-ink drawings by Los Angeles based artist Mel Kadel, opens Thursday Sept 10th at Fecal Face Dot Gallery 7-10pm (66 Gough St). Kadel will be showing both large and small scale drawings in combination with wall painting. Arranged in non-traditional clusters, her drawings will display as a quilt of images, playing off each other to transform the gallery into quasi- psychedelic mélange of color and pattern. Works as small as 6"x9" and up to 44"x44" will be available, as well a specially recorded four song EP entitled, 'Stop That Dreaming', by Los Angeles band ((Sounder)) with original cover-art by Mel Kadel. The limited edition of 100 physical copies (signed and numbered Kadel) will be available at the reception and an electronic version will be available for download on Fecalface.com. Kadel, along with artists Travis Millard and Michael Sieben can be heard singing on the track 'Oh Darkness Looming.' ((sounder)) is the music project of artist/video director Mike Aho.

the neighborhoods show at minna opens tomorrow, and it looks pretty good from what ive seen.

i was given permission to put a mural sized cutout in the center of my neighborhood on the side of the bar "grant  and green". again, traded art for free beer for life. my piece for the show is this giant cutout. below is my sketch for the piece, and a blurry iphone shot of the finished painting. will be mounted in my neighborhood following the show.
