Marr wraps up his Rome adventures with Jeremy Fish.
whadup ya'll. mo' rome... it's kind of a large one so go take a dump while it loads.

IMG_5905.jpg

they sell bottles in three packs in romelandia. i'm not much of a pesimist but in this case, the six pack is half empty.

IMG_5919.jpg

welcome to rome, martin. this here's a geeze bag friend of ours from the states that stayed with us for a bit.

IMG_5930.jpg

IMG_5937.jpg

me n' dewd lurked at the colosseum drinking some beer.

IMG_5935.jpg

IMG_5934.jpg

these torture devices were added to the colesseum fairly recently. they make people line up in front of them for hours on end only to be smacked in the balls or vagahole when they pass through. nice one.

IMG_5940.jpg

then martin proceeded to piss on some old ass shit.

IMG_5955.jpg

and not too long later... pissed on some not so old shit. sorry kids, i had to edit this one.

IMG_5968.jpg

hahahahahaha! true story!

IMG_5846.jpg

IMG_5674.jpg

spy...

IMG_5833.jpg

vs. spy.

IMG_5974.jpg

we went to see the monestary of the capucine monks. i forget exactly what their deal is but they basically decorate these rooms below the church with all of the skeletons and bones of past monks. it's pretty dark in there and you're not allowed to shoot photos so most of the ones i took are blurry. sorry bout that.

IMG_5975.jpg

IMG_5977.jpg

IMG_5979.jpg

even the ceiling is decorated.

IMG_5980.jpg

more ceiling.

IMG_5981.jpg

this says 'what you are now we used to be; what we are now you will be'. creepy awesomeness.

IMG_5983.jpg

the church upstairs complete with escaping monk ghost.

IMG_5985.jpg

IMG_5986.jpg

fish making the italian hand sign that means 'damn this thing is sick and it looks like i hand painted it myself'.

IMG_5994.jpg

eat.

IMG_5997.jpg

IMG_6174.jpg

and drink.

IMG_6179.jpg

and eat and drink some more not long later. emiliano's busting out the italian hand sign for 'hey guiseppe, we need more beer!'

IMG_6189.jpg

IMG_6193.jpg

hell yeah dewd. way to scoop up a nice one before you even have a hair on yer balls.

IMG_6203.jpg

then eat some more later. allesondro's rad.

IMG_6216.jpg

simone is also rad and owns the gallery where the show was at.

IMG_6224.jpg

dinner party.

IMG_6213.jpg

beastiality, also way up there on my radness scale. i remember my first threesome.

IMG_6239.jpg

IMG_6240.jpg

then drink some more. bo and matteo are super geezers. you think they skin?

IMG_6242.jpg

aw, hell yeah!

they even like to talk about how much they like to skin. and on a side note, it's pretty cool knowing people read yer crappy blog on the other side of the world hole.

IMG_6260.jpg

homo. i saw quite a few cock fags checking out other dewds at the internet points. i think he's looking at a site called wood. totally gay faggot.

IMG_6266.jpg

i remember the first time i choked the priest.. i certainly wasn't perusing the interweb looking for dewds.

IMG_6269.jpg

IMG_6270.jpg

speaking of boy touchers.. look how creepy holy man is eyeing this little dewd. i'm sure he's thinking 'someday you will be able to fit both my nuts in yer mouth, amen'.

IMG_6272.jpg

roman broom technology is right on par with their internet technology... behind the times.

____0134.jpg

____0129.jpg

____0141.jpg

there was a pre-show collector viewing thing (or something like that). i believe these two fancy pants were doing some shopping.

IMG_6301.jpg

then an after party at paulo and domitillas house complete with a fancy spread, butler/service type o dewdz and plenty o wealthy guests. me and martin walked in holding the roman equivilent to forty ounces and the first thing i did was yell 'va fan culo!' to everyone (it means go fuck yourself). it was quite a gas, lemme tell ya. i had a small 'i would like to hide stuff in this girl' type of crush on the one in the middle of this pik. i talked to her for about a half an hour then wandered off to shoot some photos. the next time i saw her, she pointed at me from a safe distance and said 'yer fuckin crazy'. hmff. so... no, i didn't play hide n seek with her.

IMG_6299.jpg

this here is nicola. i forgot to mention that there's gonna be a book coming out next year with all of the work fish did for the show (and some extras), mirai's portraits of fish, and a grip of photos i took while we were there. nicola is doing the design and layout for it. it'll be for sale on umbrella market and a bunch of other places.

IMG_6304.jpg

i couldn't figure this out. at first i thought it was someones vomit in the bidet but then i realized it was some seashells or rocks. is that fancy for 'our bidet is currenlty a seashell display so don't wash your scumbag ass in it' or 'we know you are a dirtbag so we installed an extra butt nugget filter for you'?

IMG_6306.jpg

kalli (also know as swoon) is fackin awesome and has really really small feet. check out martin after having moved onto cocktails. yeah dewd, go.

IMG_6316.jpg

bottle gut. this photo reminded me of one of fishs shirts.

____0271.jpg

____0273.jpg

____0278.jpg

snappio! bo skinning up hard in what was likely a very non-smoking section.

IMG_6318.jpg

martin putting the zzzzzzz... back into bzzzzzzzdtt!

IMG_6321.jpg

that there is paulo on the right. i don't have many piks of him even though i thought i took quite a few. this here was his party and he is the geeze bag that will be putting out the book (called rome-antic delusions). thanks again for all yer radness, paulo!

IMG_6320.jpg

a bit of a 'pick our asses up' to get us home. i drank the one in the middle with the spoon in it.

IMG_6337.jpg

i don't remember if i brought up the shower problem in our apartment.. so if i have skip this part. this is a photo of our backup shower. the normal one would typically have hot water for about two minutes then ice cold switching back to hot for a minute.. then just freezing water. when this happened, you had to go into the kitchen, climb onto the counter, onto the fridge and hit a button on the water heater to get hot water again... or use the mexican shower in the sink. roman technology yo.

____0281.jpg

me and martin went to see the inside of the colosseum and he spotted this free baby out front (it's a real dewd). italy took it back going through customs or else this blog would be a partial classified ad. yes, in the 'babies for sale' section.

IMG_6342.jpg

on the way in, this dynamic dumper was attached to a saucy broad and standing in line in front of us. unfortunetly, it went the same way we did once we were inside and i wasn't able to look at anything else for the first half hour.

IMG_6347.jpg

IMG_6350.jpg

damn, these dewdz get around.

IMG_6352.jpg

IMG_6353.jpg

dewdz have excavated the ground level (death area) to reveal the paths of doom that the gladiators and animals and other missle anus people used.

____0287.jpg

i've become kind of obsessed with shooting photos of tourists... here's some..

____0288.jpg

here's the rest of that ass wearing the bergay. looks nice from the front too.

____0296.jpg

____0291.jpg

IMG_6367.jpg

tourist douche.

IMG_6362.jpg

super tourist douche with the obligatory american can of coke.

____0038.jpg

i don't really know what's up with this one. a preist talking to some scotsmen about how rad banging little boys can be?

IMG_6374.jpg

next we went to the vatican where, apparently nobody wearing neon pink lederhousen are allowed in.

IMG_6376.jpg

i believe that's god on the right with some of his many yes men in the backround.

IMG_6387.jpg

shit's cool looking inside. those religous people sure do put on quite a show just to get some boy cock.

____0040.jpg

people rub this statues foot for good luck or good health.. or whatever. it sounds pretty ridiculous but if you think about the fact that these people also believe there's a dewd hanging out in the sky that 'made them', is watching their every move, and controlling everything that happens.. foot rubbing's not all that weird.

IMG_6401.jpg

the plaque under this painting said 'i'll take that one. he's got sexy boy tits. lets bring him up this hill and takes turns fucking his virgin ass!'

IMG_6407.jpg

IMG_6434.jpg

went to a strip club that was right off of via tasso (badger street).

IMG_6435.jpg

it was called the office. i've never been in a club that was so dead. i'm not really a fan of strip clubs or strippers so it didn't matter much.

IMG_6438.jpg

IMG_6442.jpg

IMG_6446.jpg

a 'white rocks' t-shirt.. so racial.

IMG_6453.jpg

art show time.. that means free beer.

____0041.jpg

____0043.jpg

papik!

IMG_6456.jpg

this is also made of half of papik.

IMG_6457.jpg

yet another fan of the blog in a far away land. nice one, dewd.

IMG_6465.jpg

IMG_6470.jpg

thanks for everything alice!

____0044.jpg

jeremy and his mom.

IMG_6492.jpg

IMG_6496.jpg

kelli has proper robot technique.

IMG_6499.jpg

IMG_6504.jpg

we smoke bombed.. tired and drunk, waiting patiently for a taxi attack.

IMG_6522.jpg

done.

thanks to all the geezers in rome, here in sf and all you reader people all over that really help tie my blog together. don't be a cunt stick (deep fried style).. come back soon. {moscomment}

Viborg International Billboard Painting Festival

Henrik Haven, who keeps us up to date in all that's Copenhagen, emailed over some photos from the Viborg International Billboard Painting Festival that's running throughout June. In this short installment he introduces us to the work of urban/graffiti artist and illustrator NYCHOS.


Kelly Tunstall's A16 Commissions

Kelly Tunstall, who's showing w/ Ferris Plock at FFDG this August 16th, recently finished some commissions for A16 in Oakland. Here's a little taste, and check out her last year's show at FFDG.


Brendan Monroe Sculptures, A How To

Brendan Monroe, whose show Melting Into the Floor runs through June 15th at LA's Richard Heller, creates these great wooden sculptures and featured a bunch in the show... He's often asked how he goes about making them and gives us at Fecal Face a little 'how to' on the process.


Mural by Curiot (+Mexico)

Mexico City based Curiot, whose sold out solo show Age of Omuktlans ran last March at FFDG, just finished this great mural entitled "El Retorno de Akhankutli" in Mexico. He recently completed one in Berlin too which we'll be posting in the coming week. The guy is very very talented in our eyes.


The Pizza Slice(r) by Henry Gunderson

This made our day. Not only do we love pizza but we also love Henry Gunderson... So a board shapped like a hot slice designed by Henry Gunderson for The Good Company, well... this writer needs to go for a slice right now.


Wendell McShine @Fifty24SF

Wendell McShine (lives in Mexico City, from Trinidad) opened his newest show, Raccoon's Law, at Fifty24SF on Saturday night. ARYZ was a tough act to follow, but McShine held his own in the space... With a combination of a mural, a video, and both drawings and mixed-media works on paper, the diversity of this solo show was impressive. The Raccoon drawings were especially attractive as the way he executed them looked like they actually had fur coming off the page, and you can only imagine how soft it would be to touch. I was lucky to see his work in person through this show, and I hope to encounter more in the future.


Honey Boo Boo's Amurrican Starquest

Ingrid Wells just got her MFA from The San Francisco Art Institute and these oil paintings from her Honey Boo Boo's Amurrican Starquest were on display as part of the recent MFA exhibition... Ingrid Wells works and lives in San Francisco.


"Out the Window" at Prohibition Gallery

Henry Gunderson emailed over some photos from his recent group show with Andrew Luck, Jordan Bogash, and Mario Ayala "Out The Window" which ran at the Los Angeles based Prohibition Gallery.


The Tornatos in Moore, OK by Justin Clemons

I got there the day after the tornado came through. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. My mind just could not grasp what my eyes were seeing. It was just too much to take in, too much to process. So, I did what comes naturally and took images. It sort of helped me separate from the chaos and helped me focus.


Hyuro "In/Between" at ArtRebels

Check out this, what could be, one of the longest murals ever created. Hyuro from Valencia, Spain was recently in Copenhagen for the solo show "In/Between" at ArtRebels.


ARYZ's TL Mural and The Apple

Rachel Ralph spotted Barcelona-based ARYZ working on his mural in the TL a couple weeks back, and we forgot to share the pics. His show at Fifty24SF opened back in April.


Oversized Paintings by Jeffrey Cheung

Jeffrey Cheung emailed over some photos from a recent one night show he had at Terra Gallery/ event space. The May 19th show also featured live music by Oakland garage rockers Twin Steps and Coldtergeist.


Alison Blickle at Eleanor Harwood thru June 15th

Great solo show by LA based Alison Blickle (Born 1976) up now at San Francisco's Eleanor Harwood gallery. History of Magic Part 1... The Hermitage runs through June 15th 2013. -- 1295 Alabama St. Hours: Wed thru Sat (11-6pm)


John Felix Arnold III in Japan (Part 4)

Well, it looks like John Felix Arnold rocked Tokyo with his opening with Koutaro Ooyama at Spes Lab a few weeks back. Even a language barrier couldn't prevent the success of their collaboration. They invited everyone they met on trains, in cars, cafes, bars, restaurants, and people responded by attending, and bringing their families and friends as well.


Sanjay & Craig Premiere Party (+LA)

Last Thursday evening, I was lucky enough to get invited to Nickelodeon's premiere party for their newest cartoon, Sanja & Craig, created by three awesome dudes - Andreas Trolf, Jim Dirschberger, and Jay Howell. Hosted at Tony's Salon with pizza provided by Pizzanistas, the premiere party was filled with libations and celebrations, even a break-dance battle broke out. Congrats to everyone who worked on the show, and especially Trolf, Jim, and Jay who all have been working tirelessly on it. Sanja & Craig premiered Saturday 10:30 am 11 am on Nickelodeon. You can watch Sanjay and Craig Episode 1: Brett Venom on hulu. and read about how the guys came up with it in this interview with The LA Times. Now, here's some photos from the premiere.


Travis Millard Was Almost Rusty Millard

Drawing Stories is a new series from our buddy Travis Millard. Grab a cup of hot coco, get your slippers on and enjoy some time with your uncle Millard.


Tofer Chin @Lu Magnus (+NYC)

Los Angeles Christofer Chin (Tofer) emailed over some install shots of his current show Ar running in NYC at Lu Magnus through June 29th. Simple/ clean and continuing his op artstyle Tofer Chin features new paintings, photographs, and sculpture continuing his exploration of geologically and architecturally inspired Minimalist forms.


Sten & Lex for The Katowice Street Art Festival

More great street art by the Italian duo, Sten & Lex, this time in Poland for the Katowice Street Art Festival.


TrustCorp @Lebasse (+Los Angeles)

TrustoCorp's all new work for their exhibition at LeBasse Projects in Culver City, Los Angeles is a perfect continuum from past work that embraces the bipolar "have/have not" socioeconomic identity of Los Angeles, which they recently established their new studio in.


The Sound of Dust

I didn't know if you came across this video yet, but I ran into my friend Brian Hanson yesterday who helped film and edit it. It's a film short documenting the work and philosophy of Huntington Beach surfboard Shaper Tim Stamps. Super rad and really inspiring! Anyhow take a peek.


Murals at Harry Wirtz Elementary

Last year, Eric Caruso a teacher at Harry Wirtz Elementary School (Paramount, CA, near LA) had an idea to invite some artists to paint some murals at the school because there wasn't an arts program for the kids. That brilliant idea resulted in some awesome murals by artists Seitaku Aoyama, Yusuke Hanai, Rich Jacobs, Tim Kerr and Albert Reyes.


Ryan De La Hoz @RVCA through 5/25

Ryan De La Hoz' show in the Upper Haight at RVCA runs through this Saturday... And the next time you're in the Mission, be sure to swing through his new shop on 14th St, Cool Try... We need to get over there soon and do a little photo feature for ya.


Daniel Chen @The Book and Job Gallery (SF)

The Book and Job Gallery (San Francisco) really stepped it up with the opening of Daniel Chen's loveBlast on May 4th. Complete with a doorman, piano player, old fashioneds, and some really nice paintings, I could hardly believe I was at the Book and Job. The paintings varied in size, and the show was balanced nicely between them, the spray-can work on the walls, and the smaller drawings displayed throughout. The kind notes Chen wrote on the walls are certain to brighten your day, and the rest of the work is definitely worth a look. It was a very classy evening and I hope they continue to intersperse shows like these into their schedule in the future

Whole Foods Rips Off Corey Arnold?
Tuesday, 18 June 2013 13:57

Tucker Nichols emailed over this Whole Foods poster (below right) which looks a lot like one of Corey Arnold's photos (bottom left). Coincidence? Where they inspired by Corey's photo? Did Corey actually shoot the photo? Who knows and Corey is fishing for salmon right now (like this), so we can't ask him to find out.

Wait, on this Instagram, Corey Arnold writes "Ripped off!", so we guess that's your answer.

Whole Foods highly inspired by a Corey Arnold photo. Ripped off?

Homemade Tattoos (+How To)
Friday, 14 June 2013 10:00

Yeah, bad tattoos are basically a bummer, right? But they're also pretty much a rite of passage for bored and disenfranchised-feeling teenagers the world over. At least it was for about 95% of the people I know. Going to a reputable tattoo shop and getting a wizard or unicorn drilled into your lower back is totally fine, but nothing really takes the place of sitting around with a bunch of friends and some beers, enthusiastically taking turns poking each others' arms full of bad ideas-which actually is fun at any age.

Wednesday, 12 June 2013 15:18

OAKLAND -- First Fridays is hoping Oakland hasn't seen the last of the one of a kind event...

The City of Oakland has been footing the bill for months and after kicking in $500,000, it's pulling the plug... Organizers are now asking for donations and developing a vendor fee schedule to try and keep the party alive. ~continue reading

Disputed Banksy graffiti art sold for $1.1M in London
Tuesday, 04 June 2013 14:00

Wonder if our old emails with Banksy are worth a few thousand dollars. It seems everything the dude touches is worth a million dollars these days! Nutty and much deserved.

A disputed Banksy graffiti artwork removed from a gritty London neighbourhood has sold for approximately $1.1 million US at auction. The provocative Slave Labour (Bunting Boy) sold at a private auction held by concierge firm The Sincura Group at the London Film Museum on Sunday, according to Bloomberg news service. The spray-painted, stenciled work depicts a child labourer using an antique sewing machine to create a Union Jack bunting.

The Boys From The UK
Monday, 03 June 2013 14:39

Daniel Cronin, who shot The Gathering of the Juggalos Feature (book out now through Random House), swung through FFDG last Friday to check out The Skull & Sword show (running through June 8th) with a couple of English fellas that's he's been traveling with for a feature on The Guardian UK's website.

Daniel Cronin was hired to shoot photos for the ongoing feature series: the Road Trips USA: Pacific Coast... An interesting idea where the trip was live blogged/ tweeted/ Instagramed with people making suggestions for what to check out, and well, into FFDG they stopped.

Look ma, we made The Guardian U.K.

Come on, guys. Don't call San Francisco "San Fran".

The kind notes Chen wrote on the walls are certain to brighten your day, and the rest of the work is definitely worth a look. It was a very classy evening and I hope they continue to intersperse shows like these into their schedule in the future
