Last Gasp founder Ron Turner
Following LeBasse Project’s SF Pop Up Gallery debut (covered) and Fecal Face Dot Gallery’s Marco Zamora and Derek Albeck show (covered), AM wrapped up a busy and fun-filled night on the town by hopping down to 111 Minna for the opening of Last Gasp’s 40th Anniversary. The underground comic purveyor and alternative arts distributor has pulled out all the stops, calling on their extensive roster of freaks, fine artists and everyone in between. With an all star lineup featuring such luminaries as R. Crumb, the Clayton Brothers (featured), Vaughn and Mark Bode, Joe Ledbetter, Ed Hardy, Scott Musgrove, Eric White (interviewed), Attaboy, Robert Williams, Gary Baseman (interviewed) and Camile Rose Garcia (interviewed), Last Gasp provides an educational look into the company’s humble beginnings and provides an intriguing peek at the things to come.

On the last Tuesday of September, AM visited 111 Minna Gallery for their monthly installment of Sketch Tuesdays. Originally held a once a year at Southern Exposure under the moniker “Moniker Drawing Rally”, the event has now grown to a monthly event featuring an ever changing cast of Bay Area artists. November’s installment of Sketch Tuesdays fell on the eve of 111 Minna’s “Neighborhoods” show (opening/setup) and featured many of the “Neighborhoods” artists. In attendance were such SF luminaries as Mike Giant, Matt Furie, N8 Van Dyke, Skinner, Jason Vivona, Brett Amory, Adam Flores and Adam 5100 to name a few.

111 Minna will be presenting their latest show, “Neighborhood SF,” with the opening scheduled for tonight. Curated by Martin Olive and Ryan Malley, “Neighborhoods” is easily looking like one of the better group shows this year. Having SF artists interpret their respective neighborhoods is a great concept, and when you’ve got the likes of Jeremy Fish, Sylvia Ji, N8 Van Dyke, Mike Giant and David Choong Lee involved, well, let’s just say it takes the boring out of neighboring artists….

This past weekend AM visited the Fecal Face Dot Gallery for the opening of “White Hole”, the debut show for SF artist Henry Gunderson. For those of you unfamiliar, Henry has shown at some of San Francisco’s most prestigious contemporary galleries, and has been recently featured on a number of excellent design websites such as Booooooom, Change the Thought, Design\Milk and The World’s Best Ever. Not bad for any artist, let alone one who’s only 19. We caught up with Henry at the gallery - full interview and recap after the jump.
