SOMA: SO Much Awesomeness
Posted on | March 13, 2010 | Comments Off on SOMA: SO Much Awesomeness
(It was today, anyway. Other days, it’s South of Market Street.)
Enough of this unintentional hiatus from blog updates.
As of today, I’m 3 paintings lighter! I delivered “Little Black Dress,” “Hoodie,” and “SF2008” this morning to my favorite San Francisco Salon, G-Squared, in the SOMA neighborhood. The owner, Neil, has been keeping my hair *done* since I moved to San Francisco. His newly remodeled salon is a cool, modern space where minimalist design is the backdrop for the stylists’ warm and inspired approach to working magic on hair. I couldn’t be happier to have my paintings hanging there.
Next stop? SF Moto. Marc and I went by this afternoon to meet Arlene and see the brand new GoGo Gear. When we arrived, Arlene and Desiree were arranging an impressive display of all the gear. Even better, as the jackets went up, they came down again for customers to try and discover how incredibly flattering they are. In a couple of weeks, my Hologram jacket will arrive. I can’t wait! And at the risk of getting ahead of myself, we got a glimpse of some of what’s coming for GoGo Gear in 2011: a ruffled-trench in a sueded coppery fabric–fully armored gorgeousness.
And thanks to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade down Market St., 7th St. was completely closed to traffic for a few blocks today. Marc seized the no traffic opportunity to get a shot (or two) down the center of 7th St., and I got this shot, which I think sums up our day quite nicely.
The excitement continues in SOMA tomorrow. We’re making our first foray into the darkroom! Our friends at Billibatt Productions took some fantastic photos–on film!–of us at our wedding in February at City Hall. (Yes, we got married! On the fifth anniversary of our first date! I think this needs its own blog post, though.) Tomorrow, Marc and I will begin to learn how to make black and white prints. I can’t wait!
