My brother George is one of the speakers in the salon-style Living Room event at SFMOMA tomorrow. He's participating in Conversation One that starts at noon, but the event lasts most of the day and appears to be free and open to the public. See you there!

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
The Schwab Room
Saturday, June 4th
11:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Co-organized by Margaret Tedesco.

"The Stein family's Saturday salons in their Paris apartments were the crucible of avant-garde art and writing of the period. In keeping with the spirit of those informal gatherings, our guests — artists, writers, filmmakers, performers, and others — will entertain us with their personal recollections of Bay Area avant-garde histories."

If you find yourself in San Francisco tonight, come out to Rare Device for the opening reception of our Pop-Up Shop from 5-8pm! There will be original art from the Living Things Series books from Jo Dery, Hannah Waldron and Lizzy Stewart (Lizzy's was delayed by post but will be there soon)!

A "Seattle Contemporary Drawing Exhibit" is happening this Thursday at Floating World Comics in Downtown Portland and is curated by cartoonist Jason T. Miles and features LO's own Martine Workman! Should be a diverse group of drawings from fine art to comics. It's also a book release for Jim Woodring's new book, Congress of the Animals. They are describing the artwork in the show as, "...a mixed miasma of drone drawing, figure drawing, pattern cartooning, metamorphic automatism, cartography, illustration, totem drawing and good ole rain soaked mysticism."
