The artist states:

“SNOWMAN MONKEY BBQ is my first art exhibition in almost 4 years. why haven’t i shown in so long? I been percolatin’ i was busy destroying myself like any decent artist. 4 years of falling deep into addiction, heartbreak, rejoicing , discovery , recovery , hallucinogenics, worship and ignorant idiotic prophecies manifest and explode into a strange reality that I myself can’t comprehend, it will encompass murals, sculptures , watercolors , oil, mixed media and if you’re lucky and I’m fucked off this mezcal , maybe some performance art too! It is an honor to display my work in one of my most favorite places in the world , Mexico City! (I’m eating a sweetbread taco and typing this with one hand right now) at the Museo Universitario del Chopo http://www.chopo.unam.mx/exposiciones/davidchoe.html if you’re in town saturday , august 17th come check it out . I’ll make it worth your while.”

We are proud to release a Set of 4 birch wood coasters, laser-etched with the artwork of Jeremy Fish.

“There once was a beverage that needed to not leave rings on fine wood surfaces. Fortunately, Upper Playground and SuperFishal have provided these heartfelt SF wood coasters, so that wet drinks everywhere can rest safely knowing they aren’t ruining fine tables.”

Unearthed in the research phases of the San Francisco Heritage Project, we are proud to release this collection of historical graphics created by the OG’s, Original Graphic designers. Even though these were penned in the late 1800′s, they still speak to the thirsty SF population of today.
