The Romolo Project: Inaugural Show



On the evening of Thursday, September 7th, at 7pm, the once bare walls within 15 Romolo in North Beach, San Francisco, will showcase a multitude of incredible paintings, delicious drawings, sharp photography and wonderful manipulations of hand-blown glass.

Tap your foot or grind down to DJ sets by Nisus






Drop by, discover one of the gems of North Beach, wet your tongue, converse with the actual artists, then buy some shit for your walls or shelves. Artwork will be moderately priced due to zero commission on behalf of our host: 15 Romolo. I very much look forward to seeing you there, hell, maybe I'll even buy you a drink. Or maybe not, drop by and find out for yourself. Do it for Lou.



The posh yet tucked away 15 Romolo is hidden on Romolo Place, an alley steps off Broadway beyond the twinkling lights of the upscale gentlemen's clubs and titty bars (close to the intersection of Columbus Avenue), between Grant Avenue and Kearny Street.

Nüform/ILove on Haight

Haight Street [San Francisco, California] exhibits the marks of various street artisans ranging from posters boosting bands and protests to stickers and hand-styles bearing the street alias of whomever had the balls to go forth and initiate the public display of their imagery. The beauty of Haight Street is the fact that it seems to welcome independent ventures of self promotion.

I present photos from a recent sticker campaign carried out by Nüform in collaboration with ILove. Two dear friends who yearn for the satiety of being seen . . . everywhere.
