Superdeux at Kokoro Studio
Superdeux will be showing a new selection of work this Thursday at Kokoro Studio in San Francisco. I’ve never seen his work in this format or heard of this space. It should make for an exciting evening to say the least. Come hang out.
Greg Simkins
Greg Simkins’ collection of paintings, drawings and murals encompass a combination of Disney references, insect parts, animals, nature and weird carnival esque bits. It’s rare to find an artist daring enough to tie this sort of subject matter together, let alone pull it off with such charismatic style. Greg has been commissioned to do work for a long list of impressive brands and companies including, Vans, Upper Playground, Juxtapoz, Converse, STRANGEco, Kid Robot, Ningyoushi, Dark Horse, Epitaph, Disney, Mattel and more.
Cookies N Cream
The recently accelerated trend of mobile goods is really starting to take shape in a variety of super interesting ways. Of those, one of the more polished I’ve come across is the Cookies N Cream truck. Cookies N Cream is a NYC based venture that seeds the streets with a collection of apparel and designer toys under the ideology that keeping things fun is the best way to “stay true” to themselves.
I’m still a little oblivious to how this mobile merch concept really works out, but after seeing so many interesting varieties pop up, it’s apparent that this is from from the end of its potential.
In short, Ze Frog & Toad is a traveling exhibition showcasing the new work of Nicholas Chalmers. Where the concept strays from regularity, is how the work is being shown and the manner of cataloging the adventure itself. By prioritizing his interests and taking things into his own hands, Nicholas has managed to craft a multifaceted creative venture, that even if it makes no money, is going to be a whimsical journey up the coast of Australia.

QBRK
A pretty outstanding collection of paintings, murals and illustrations on QBRK‘s flickr stream. Head over and take a peek for yourself.
Jeff Soto – Off The Wall
Super great, short video for Off The Wall, with Jeff Soto, by Friends We Love.
Doze Green’s OTW video was equally as motivating.
Yoko D’Holbachie
Yoko D’Holbachie‘s paintings are an uncomfortable combination of cute mammal parts stitched together with various unidentifiable insect… things. Her work has a bit of an obvious Japanese flare to it, but I don’t care because it’s all sort of creepy in an adventurously whimsical way. Make sure you click through to her site for much, much better examples of work.
Skinner X Vision
Still impressed and completely blown away by the recent Skinner show at White Walls, I’ve found myself equally excited for his collaboration with Vision Street Wear. Take a peek at some of the goodies he’s been working on for the classic skate brand as well as some behind the scenes type stuff.
The video below is super radical, so watch it too…
Nice work from the dudes at Vision.
Luchador Collab-O-Mask Project
Peat Wollaeger‘s collaborative luchador mask project has popped up a lot in my personal bookmarks and on blogs since its creation a couple years back. I was pretty excited to find out that the show was here in SF, yet sort of sad I wasn’t around when it happened. You can see pics from the opening at OnSix Gallery and jump over to The StenSOUL Store to click through some of the masks still available for purchase.
For more pictures of the masks, check out Sean Hartman’s photostream on Flickr.

Matt Mignanelli Sneak Peek
Celeste and I took a trip up to Nob Hill this afternoon, to grab a bite with Matt Mignanelli and chat about his show, Transformative Illuminations, opening this Friday at Medicine Agency. We dropped by just in time to see the pieces being unpacked and peek at everything up close, prior to being hung. His definitive use of bright colors and bold geometric shapes sort of had my itchy art eye twitching with visual stimulation. We hung out long enough to meet the Medicine crew and learn a little bit about what they’ve been up to and about their operation as well… we look forward to keeping up them and their work.
After nerding out on the unpacking of the art and spying on the early stages of getting the work hung, we took a walk to find a food spot and rap about living in NYC, the art world and his visit to San Francisco. Needless to say, he’s been working hard at getting ready for the show and is as excited as we are to see it all unfold this Friday.
Meet us there, this Friday for drinks and additional ocular stimulation from 8PM – 11PM.
Matt Mignanelli at Medicine Agency
Matt Mignanelli will be showcasing his latest collection of works entitled “Transformative Illuminations” this Friday at Medicine Agency in San Francisco. The show opens at 8PM and goes until 11.
SKINNER at White Walls Tomorrow Night!!
I can honestly say that I haven’t been this excited for an upcoming show in a long, long time! The more that I read or watch about Skinner, the more intrigued and totally hoodwinked I am, by what to expect. I know it’s gonna be a great show just by the way he talks about his pieces and the terms he uses… so fantastical.
Skinner’s opening reception is this Saturday at White Walls Gallery alongside Ferris Plock at the conjoined Shooting Gallery.
McBess Timelapse
Just a little something to hold you over for now… more on McBess soon.
Reka One
Australian artist/painter, RekaOne has a crazy amazing selection of paintings and illustrations. I had a hard time choosing a favorite piece to post… Don’t hesitate to click through and check out some more of his character based painted pieces.
