Capobianco Gallery, San Francisco

Untitled Photograph No. 20.60.25 of Jeanne Tumpane's show closing this weekend. The placard describes amulets and talismans. There is a gallery of nine installation images of the exhibition mentioned earlier today in addition to this first post made with "hello."

California Campers - Volkswagen Campers for rent from Los Angeles & San Francisco, California and camper vans and recreational vehicles for rent in California—don't ask why.

San Francisco Examiner: Last straw for art gallery and the web page for the gallery itself, while it lasts, is very instructive on what happens when art is sadly misunderstood. Consider how others might address the same theme quite casually and politically.

Portrait: portraits, portrait artist, portrait painting, custom oil portrait, portrait painter, custom portrait, oil portrait, portrait oil painting, oil portrait artist, oil paint portrait, painted portrait and they want your email address. Well, it's worth a peek. "Artists - Earn a $100k/yr. income." Let's see, there's also Thomas Kinkade as Kenneth Baker reviews him a while back or USA TODAY. Curiously, Hiddenbooke in Vallejo, if it's the same Hiddenbrooke Salon writes about two years ago, does not display the Kinkade name, but apparently the art criticisms endure, some related to the subdivision.

Artwork SF sends out cards of group shows they do. There are many concurrent shows in coffeehouses, and perhaps they accept artists, but there are over 100 as it is.
