Even as I type this, Bloodwork:Bodies is on the press. I can’t wait until October.

 

Friday I made it out to Subtext Gallery’s Release The Kraken! show, which coincided with their 5 year anniversary.

 

 

Subtext is the love-child of local graphic design heros Dylan Jones and Don Hollis.

 

 

The show consisted of repurposed 70′s hotel art, to which a host of sharp-shootin’ artists added their own, kraken flavored improvements.

 

 

Mike Maxwell and Scott Saw were on hand signing books Subtext printed of the show.

 

 

As were Lego master Gary McIntire,

 

 

and Tyler Cristobal.

 

 

The Makeup Sex rocked the house.

 

 

The always delicious Miho gastrotruck was there, serving up good eats.

 

 

Skateboarders checked out the show.

 

 

 

as did pretty girls,

 

 

Tough guys too,

 

 

and hipsters,

 

 

and, of course it’s not a real party until the cops show up.

 

 

I had the humbling experience of seeing proofs of Bloodwork: Bodies when I was in San Jose last weekend.  Seeing something tangible for the first time after almost two years of hard work was exciting to say the least. I can’t wait until this thing is out.

This picture of Adrian thumbing through said proofs was made with some crossed processed Velvia, that had to be ten years old, shot in my Bronica.
