I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE...

Carissa and I can't tell you how excited we are to carry Partisan magazine at the newsstand. 

It's rare that a magazine has this wide of a scope while being awesomely designed!

Here is a sneak peak of Chris Fallon's undertaking.

NEW EDICOLA POSTER

So after this first month, every month, a new artist will make a limited edition Edicola poster

and we will print only 50 copies. You guys are going to like the line up we have for this

special project. Here is one I threw together for the opening. Yours Truly, Luca

Porsche Boutique - by Jehn Howard and Jen Giese

Look whats new?!?! As some of you may or may not know, Colpa Press will be opening a newsstand on 6th and Market Street. We are starting to collect books, zines and cards, etc for the shelves. One of the first people to arrive is Jehn Howard - a fellow SFAIer Jenn is a wonderfully talented designer. I cannot find her website but if I could I would have shared it here...  Find them at Edicola starting March 15th, 2012 for $10, Yay!

BEER & COOKIES - artist talk at Royal Nonesuch Gallery

Space, Time and Architecture  

Luca and Cybele Lyle gave the most wonderful talk today at Royal Nonesuch Gallery in Oakland. If you were not able to make it, I will present a summary here: Luca and Cybele like each other. Carey Lin is a artist matchmaker, it would seem. Lin is also very talented in the art of cookie baking, for the cookies at this event went fast and were perfectly round and very tasty. They are going to make a book. They are smart and talked about some smart stuff that was cool to hear about. Sadly, their show came down tonight - but I hear that you might be able to see Luca's book coming up on March 3rd - details to follow.
