It's Open Studio Weekend!

Wherein we take the art for a walk

Brian's participating in ArtSpan's open studios again this year. This time, he'll also be in the group show at the SomArts Gallery (on Brannan St., right by the Trader Joe's). He finished his piece for the group show last night; this morning we brought it over to SomArts. Here it is in his studio this morning, right before we headed out. The show opens October 5th.


This is the smallest piece Brian's made in a while. We were both a little excited about how portable it is (that's not a portal into some woolen vortex, by the way. Just my sweater).



Here we are, waiting for the train.


This is the only picture in which Brian doesn't have the 'Woman, why do you insist on taking my photo?' look on is face.


See?


Up the escalator


Through the station,


And finally we were there.


"Are you taking pictures of my butt?" Brian asked. Yes, sweetie. Yes I am.





Brian's studio will be open the third weekend in October (the 18 & 19), from 11 AM to 6 PM. He's at 2221 15th St., through the side door by the garage. Hope to see you all there.

Art Zoo! (Gesundheit)

Hangin' out in Brian's studio this morning. Some folks are coming by to look at his art, and then we're going to the zoo. While I'm here, though, how's about some pictures from Brian's open studio?

Missing

I'm not so thoroughly modern as to have photos uploaded already, so you'll just have to take my word for it that Brian's open studio went swimmingly. The art was lovely and the crowds gushed gushingly.

And it was great to just hang in the studio all day, chatting with friends and meeting people and just spending time with Brian's work. But today, now, sitting on the couch with books, and tea, getting ready to watch Buffy and toddle off to bed, I'm remembering how nice it is not to be busy, not to have deadlines looming, how nice it is to just be us.

Humph. Too bad I have to work tomorrow.

Open Studio

For those of you in San Francisco:

This weekend (October 20 & 21), from 11am-6pm, Brian will
be opening up his studio as part of ArtSpan's citywide Open Studios (which you can read all about here).

For those of you not familiar with Brian's work, he sculpts these big wood panels into a sort of collage-y melange of different carving styles (I've put an image of one of 'em to the left over there). I'm really not up to describing them (and they're the sort of thing that you really should see in person), but if you want to get an idea of what I'm talking about, you can visit his website.

Anyway, his studio's at 2221 15th St. (between Noe and Castro). It's in
the basement -- the door is on the right side of the garage. There'll be
free food & drinks! Art! Artists! It'll be rad.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions or would like more
explicit directions.

Hope to see y'all there,

Nora
