Wood Pins by Miss Van

Last month, Miss Van had a solo show, Still a Little Magic, at FIFTY24SF Gallery in San Francisco, that featured her poupees under the big top tents of the circus world.  She’s taken some of her characters from the show and created a wooden pin set.   The pins feature artwork by Miss Van printed onto wood and is a collaborative work of artistic jewelry exclusively hand crafted and produced by Princesas Market and the Limbo Family. Each of the two models is produced in a limited edition of 40 pieces, is signed and comes in a handmade and engraved leather purse with a numbered certificate of authenticity.  If you weren’t able to see the show (which was amazing) you can adorn yourself with a little piece of Miss Van love.  You can buy the pins here.  Read the full story to see the rest of the pictures.

Painting by Miss Van

Tonight is an exciting night for art lovers in San Francisco because we have two great openings at FIFTY24SF Gallery – Miss Van and Jeremy Fish.  Many of you know Miss Van and her infamous globe-trotting “poupees” with their iconic doe eyes, pouty lips and taunting gazes.  With each show, Miss Van places her poupees in different settings and this show is no different.  “Still a Little Magic,” Miss Van’s newest undertaking, takes us under the bit top tents into the world of masks and charade.  Miss Van is showing at the downstairs gallery of FIFTY24SF.

Jeremy Fish’s show, “Ghosts of the Barbary Coast,” takes us on a visual history of San Francisco.  Using the adventurers who chased their dreams to San Francisco during the California Gold Rush as an inspiration, Jeremy Fish weaves a tale of mischief and mayhem through 35 new pieces including paintings, illustrations and woodworking projects from Indonesia.  Jeremy Fish is showing at the upstairs gallery of FIFTY24SF.  Also, check out these great video interviews Jeremy did:  A studio tour/interview with Fecal Face (view after the jump) and a cooking session with celebrity Chef Chris Cosentino.

Miss Van and Jeremy Fish are two of my favorite artists and I can’t wait to see these shows tonight!  See you there!
