my love for you.

Rod Luff: The Moleskin Project.

Friend of the blog and Hi-Fructose online web editor, Ken Harman recently opened permanent doors to his gallery Spoke Art. The gallery has had a few traveling shows throughout the SF Bay area. I'll be dropping by to see the new gallery and get coffee with Ken on Saturday and of course to check out the new show; Rod Luff's show The MoleskinProject. In the meantime, I figured I would post some of the press images for the show, because they're too good to wait til next week - if you are in the city, give the new gallery some love.

Rod Luff: The Moleskin Project runs through May 28, 2011 at Spoke Art, 816 Sutter street, SF. CA.

Summer Spirit Quest: Hannah Stouffer.

Hannah Stouffer set out on a 5 week cross country trip to clear her head, get inspired and create. She's back and super charged up with a whole new body of work in progress. RAD. Here's a video of her inspirational travels she put together and a few pics from her journal on the road.

"All I ever wanted was to buy an old black van and paint an epic wizard on the side surfing through space. I’d pull up to the beach, open the door open and just draw. I'd drive it all around the the country with my dog… sleeping where we felt like, eating cans of beans, with a bottle of Jameson under the seat, black leather jacket, black leather boots, red lipstick, King Diamond, Burning Witch, Electric Wizard. Done.

It all seems so romantic.  After that plan fell through, faulty car salesmen and a small claims court date, I adjust accordingly.  I really had no choice, but to just GO.  So I chose the next best thing- the Amtrak train.  And so it begins...

Three months later, the same dirty black clothes and way too much clarity…  Back to California and I never want to leave this bed again." -Hannah Stouffer, Summer 2010
