NightOwlCoHolic: Jermarrny Part III
Written by Rick Marr   
Saturday, 27 January 2007 06:24
Marr blogs up part three of Jeremy Fish's trip through Germany for some shows.

welcome to 2007 dewdz. here's more fish/germany tour for ya.

after stuttgart we hit mainz. my digi started freakin the funk in zurich and finally died in mainz so i only have a few piks from there with my 'real' camera.

_--_1237.jpg

_--_1240.jpg

_--_1241.jpg

check out marcus falling asleep on the right.

_--_1246.jpg

finished drawing with shitty lighting.

_--_1248.jpg

afterward we went to a mexican joint. i made the mistake of ordering buffalo wings at a mexican restaurant in germany. in retrospect, i should've known better but they're one of my favorites. anyone know where to get good wings in sf?

we were in and out of mainz with a quickness and on our way to duesseldorf.

_--_1251.jpg

fish took control of the wan when we hit the autobahn and got it up to 180km (120mph). i thought i was cool when i hit 240km/160mph and broke my autobahn hymen but i was in a sports car on a sunny day. fish was manning a tour wan and it was raining. i was nervous as fuck and it didn't help knowing that he didn't get his drivers license until he was 25.

the big piece, in duesseldorf, was done at the magwick headquarters. magwick runs streetwear today magazine and does some marketing and trade show stuff. they set up our tour and took care of everything while we were there.

_--_1253.jpg

martin is one half of magwick. he owned his own skateshop when he was 15 or so. nice one.

draw it up.

germans make coffee in a pan and when they're real high, they leave it on the stove for a long time.

results.

_--_1306.jpg

opening day.

_--_1232.JPG

fish scored some sick lederhosen in stuttgart and finally had the chance to break them out in duesseldorf.

IMG_9461.jpg

marcus and his saucy lady friend, hanni. her name is pronounced 'honey' so i didn't use it too much so marcus wouldn't think i was hitting on her.

IMG_9462.jpg

IMG_9463.jpg

sweet german menu selections.

IMG_9466.jpg

IMG_9485.jpg

IMG_9488.jpg

american actors and actresses don't usually do commercial ads in america cause it makes the public think they're doosh cunts but they make bundles of cash doing them overseas. sharon stone is second on my 'most famous white trash' list; right behind courtney love.

IMG_9489.jpg

this vagina matress is a fairly well known actress from croatia.

i didn't get any piks of the opening but afterward we played a game where you try to guess whos name is stuck to yer forehead.

IMG_9507.jpg

tom cruise was on mine and when i asked 'is he gay' everyone said 'i'm not sure'.

IMG_9499.jpg

IMG_9509.jpg

we stayed at a different hotel the next night and this was our tv greeting.

IMG_9527.jpg

during our last half day in duesseldorf we came across what appears to be a porous walker sculpture of a giant baby eating shit out of another giant babys ass with a spoon. rumor has it, porous paid them $5 to build it.

IMG_9528.jpg

i also spotted heath 'anus' ledger and jake gayanall out front of our hotel. the hotel worker dewdz said they were preparing for brokeback mountain 2 and came to germany to explore some 'fecal play'.

IMG_9532.jpg

fish next to a portrait of himself.

IMG_9533.jpg

fish next to a gaggle of gnomes.

IMG_9534.jpg

me and fish standing next to sculptures of ourselves in 5 years.

i tend to pick up foreign languages pretty fast and 'spreakin za doosh' was easier than i expected. in this video i basically broke down that our trip was going good because we were able to skin up on a regular basis and got to play a game we called 'jew buggy'. it's the same thing as 'punch buggy' (where you punch someone whenever you see a volkswagon beetle) only we did it whenever we spotted a jewish dewd in germany. i punched fish once.

berlin was the last city on our tour and it's next up in blogvillelandia.

later for you. {moscomment}

Viborg International Billboard Painting Festival

Henrik Haven, who keeps us up to date in all that's Copenhagen, emailed over some photos from the Viborg International Billboard Painting Festival that's running throughout June. In this short installment he introduces us to the work of urban/graffiti artist and illustrator NYCHOS.


Kelly Tunstall's A16 Commissions

Kelly Tunstall, who's showing w/ Ferris Plock at FFDG this August 16th, recently finished some commissions for A16 in Oakland. Here's a little taste, and check out her last year's show at FFDG.


Brendan Monroe Sculptures, A How To

Brendan Monroe, whose show Melting Into the Floor runs through June 15th at LA's Richard Heller, creates these great wooden sculptures and featured a bunch in the show... He's often asked how he goes about making them and gives us at Fecal Face a little 'how to' on the process.


Mural by Curiot (+Mexico)

Mexico City based Curiot, whose sold out solo show Age of Omuktlans ran last March at FFDG, just finished this great mural entitled "El Retorno de Akhankutli" in Mexico. He recently completed one in Berlin too which we'll be posting in the coming week. The guy is very very talented in our eyes.


The Pizza Slice(r) by Henry Gunderson

This made our day. Not only do we love pizza but we also love Henry Gunderson... So a board shapped like a hot slice designed by Henry Gunderson for The Good Company, well... this writer needs to go for a slice right now.


Wendell McShine @Fifty24SF

Wendell McShine (lives in Mexico City, from Trinidad) opened his newest show, Raccoon's Law, at Fifty24SF on Saturday night. ARYZ was a tough act to follow, but McShine held his own in the space... With a combination of a mural, a video, and both drawings and mixed-media works on paper, the diversity of this solo show was impressive. The Raccoon drawings were especially attractive as the way he executed them looked like they actually had fur coming off the page, and you can only imagine how soft it would be to touch. I was lucky to see his work in person through this show, and I hope to encounter more in the future.


Honey Boo Boo's Amurrican Starquest

Ingrid Wells just got her MFA from The San Francisco Art Institute and these oil paintings from her Honey Boo Boo's Amurrican Starquest were on display as part of the recent MFA exhibition... Ingrid Wells works and lives in San Francisco.


"Out the Window" at Prohibition Gallery

Henry Gunderson emailed over some photos from his recent group show with Andrew Luck, Jordan Bogash, and Mario Ayala "Out The Window" which ran at the Los Angeles based Prohibition Gallery.


The Tornatos in Moore, OK by Justin Clemons

I got there the day after the tornado came through. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. My mind just could not grasp what my eyes were seeing. It was just too much to take in, too much to process. So, I did what comes naturally and took images. It sort of helped me separate from the chaos and helped me focus.


Hyuro "In/Between" at ArtRebels

Check out this, what could be, one of the longest murals ever created. Hyuro from Valencia, Spain was recently in Copenhagen for the solo show "In/Between" at ArtRebels.


ARYZ's TL Mural and The Apple

Rachel Ralph spotted Barcelona-based ARYZ working on his mural in the TL a couple weeks back, and we forgot to share the pics. His show at Fifty24SF opened back in April.


Oversized Paintings by Jeffrey Cheung

Jeffrey Cheung emailed over some photos from a recent one night show he had at Terra Gallery/ event space. The May 19th show also featured live music by Oakland garage rockers Twin Steps and Coldtergeist.


Alison Blickle at Eleanor Harwood thru June 15th

Great solo show by LA based Alison Blickle (Born 1976) up now at San Francisco's Eleanor Harwood gallery. History of Magic Part 1... The Hermitage runs through June 15th 2013. -- 1295 Alabama St. Hours: Wed thru Sat (11-6pm)


John Felix Arnold III in Japan (Part 4)

Well, it looks like John Felix Arnold rocked Tokyo with his opening with Koutaro Ooyama at Spes Lab a few weeks back. Even a language barrier couldn't prevent the success of their collaboration. They invited everyone they met on trains, in cars, cafes, bars, restaurants, and people responded by attending, and bringing their families and friends as well.


Sanjay & Craig Premiere Party (+LA)

Last Thursday evening, I was lucky enough to get invited to Nickelodeon's premiere party for their newest cartoon, Sanja & Craig, created by three awesome dudes - Andreas Trolf, Jim Dirschberger, and Jay Howell. Hosted at Tony's Salon with pizza provided by Pizzanistas, the premiere party was filled with libations and celebrations, even a break-dance battle broke out. Congrats to everyone who worked on the show, and especially Trolf, Jim, and Jay who all have been working tirelessly on it. Sanja & Craig premiered Saturday 10:30 am 11 am on Nickelodeon. You can watch Sanjay and Craig Episode 1: Brett Venom on hulu. and read about how the guys came up with it in this interview with The LA Times. Now, here's some photos from the premiere.


Travis Millard Was Almost Rusty Millard

Drawing Stories is a new series from our buddy Travis Millard. Grab a cup of hot coco, get your slippers on and enjoy some time with your uncle Millard.


Tofer Chin @Lu Magnus (+NYC)

Los Angeles Christofer Chin (Tofer) emailed over some install shots of his current show Ar running in NYC at Lu Magnus through June 29th. Simple/ clean and continuing his op artstyle Tofer Chin features new paintings, photographs, and sculpture continuing his exploration of geologically and architecturally inspired Minimalist forms.


Sten & Lex for The Katowice Street Art Festival

More great street art by the Italian duo, Sten & Lex, this time in Poland for the Katowice Street Art Festival.


TrustCorp @Lebasse (+Los Angeles)

TrustoCorp's all new work for their exhibition at LeBasse Projects in Culver City, Los Angeles is a perfect continuum from past work that embraces the bipolar "have/have not" socioeconomic identity of Los Angeles, which they recently established their new studio in.


The Sound of Dust

I didn't know if you came across this video yet, but I ran into my friend Brian Hanson yesterday who helped film and edit it. It's a film short documenting the work and philosophy of Huntington Beach surfboard Shaper Tim Stamps. Super rad and really inspiring! Anyhow take a peek.


Murals at Harry Wirtz Elementary

Last year, Eric Caruso a teacher at Harry Wirtz Elementary School (Paramount, CA, near LA) had an idea to invite some artists to paint some murals at the school because there wasn't an arts program for the kids. That brilliant idea resulted in some awesome murals by artists Seitaku Aoyama, Yusuke Hanai, Rich Jacobs, Tim Kerr and Albert Reyes.


Ryan De La Hoz @RVCA through 5/25

Ryan De La Hoz' show in the Upper Haight at RVCA runs through this Saturday... And the next time you're in the Mission, be sure to swing through his new shop on 14th St, Cool Try... We need to get over there soon and do a little photo feature for ya.


Daniel Chen @The Book and Job Gallery (SF)

The Book and Job Gallery (San Francisco) really stepped it up with the opening of Daniel Chen's loveBlast on May 4th. Complete with a doorman, piano player, old fashioneds, and some really nice paintings, I could hardly believe I was at the Book and Job. The paintings varied in size, and the show was balanced nicely between them, the spray-can work on the walls, and the smaller drawings displayed throughout. The kind notes Chen wrote on the walls are certain to brighten your day, and the rest of the work is definitely worth a look. It was a very classy evening and I hope they continue to intersperse shows like these into their schedule in the future

Whole Foods Rips Off Corey Arnold?
Tuesday, 18 June 2013 13:57

Tucker Nichols emailed over this Whole Foods poster (below right) which looks a lot like one of Corey Arnold's photos (bottom left). Coincidence? Where they inspired by Corey's photo? Did Corey actually shoot the photo? Who knows and Corey is fishing for salmon right now (like this), so we can't ask him to find out.

Wait, on this Instagram, Corey Arnold writes "Ripped off!", so we guess that's your answer.

Whole Foods highly inspired by a Corey Arnold photo. Ripped off?

Homemade Tattoos (+How To)
Friday, 14 June 2013 10:00

Yeah, bad tattoos are basically a bummer, right? But they're also pretty much a rite of passage for bored and disenfranchised-feeling teenagers the world over. At least it was for about 95% of the people I know. Going to a reputable tattoo shop and getting a wizard or unicorn drilled into your lower back is totally fine, but nothing really takes the place of sitting around with a bunch of friends and some beers, enthusiastically taking turns poking each others' arms full of bad ideas-which actually is fun at any age.

Andreas Trolf's feature is an olde but goodie

Wednesday, 12 June 2013 15:18

The City of Oakland has been footing the bill for months and after kicking in $500,000, it's pulling the plug... Organizers are now asking for donations and developing a vendor fee schedule to try and keep the party alive. ~continue reading

Disputed Banksy graffiti art sold for $1.1M in London
Tuesday, 04 June 2013 14:00

Wonder if our old emails with Banksy are worth a few thousand dollars. It seems everything the dude touches is worth a million dollars these days! Nutty and much deserved.

A disputed Banksy graffiti artwork removed from a gritty London neighbourhood has sold for approximately $1.1 million US at auction. The provocative Slave Labour (Bunting Boy) sold at a private auction held by concierge firm The Sincura Group at the London Film Museum on Sunday, according to Bloomberg news service. The spray-painted, stenciled work depicts a child labourer using an antique sewing machine to create a Union Jack bunting.

Daniel Cronin, who shot The Gathering of the Juggalos Feature (book out now through Random House), swung through FFDG last Friday to check out The Skull & Sword show (running through June 8th) with a couple of English fellas that's he's been traveling with for a feature on The Guardian UK's website.

Daniel Cronin was hired to shoot photos for the ongoing feature series: the Road Trips USA: Pacific Coast... An interesting idea where the trip was live blogged/ tweeted/ Instagramed with people making suggestions for what to check out, and well, into FFDG they stopped.

Look ma, we made The Guardian U.K.

Come on, guys. Don't call San Francisco "San Fran".
