In preparation for his Fecal Face Dot Gallery opening tonight, February 26, 2009, skate artist and former Think Skateboards art director Jeremy Fish has painted a 30-foot-long mural with three dimensional characters in it according to a story in the Xpress.

The mural-in-progress, which covers two of the Fecal Face Dot Gallery’s four walls at Gough and Market streets, depicts a wooded scene of half-finished cartoon animals and trees. Fish carefully draws the perky lips belonging to one of the trees that overlooks what seems to be a future battle scene. . . . The artist has been crafting the mural for 25 hours, but states he only has a few hours left of touching up the details. World-famous skateboard filmer and photographer Dan Wolfe is in the room shooting time-lapse photographs of the process while old-school East Coast hip hop bumps from small speakers in the corner.

The Ambush opening party is tonight at 6 p.m. at Fecal Face Dot Gallery – 66 Gough St. (@ Market St.), San Francisco, with an after party at The Uptown, 200 Capp St (10-2am).

Simon Evans is a former pro skateboarder who wrote for the British skateboard mag R.a,D. in the early 90s. Now he is an artist with a new show which opened last night (February 20, 2009) at the James Cohan Gallery in New York City. Here is the logic behind the show:

. . . these days he’s expressing himself in scotch tape, pencil shavings, colored pencil and white-out. He uses everyday materials to create vivid stories through collages. For a new show at the James Cohan Gallery in Chelsea, he’s tells the story of Robinson Crusoe, creating the things Caruso used to keep himself alive when stranded on a desert island. Evans said he was hoping to bring text and visual art together.

The show runs through April 4, 2009, but you can check it online right here.

The opening reception is Friday, March 6, 2009 from 7-11pm. It would probably be a good idea to be there.
