Tea Party and Art Sale!

That means tea and art, and good company, and I'll have a small version of Haunted Garden's dome up somewhere in the space. I may even run Heavens Speak for a while.

Our space isn't done yet. We're creating a new artist live/work space in an old basement dotcom. We've had to tear out walls, build a kitchen and bathrooms, and all kinds of messy work.

We're planning a big blowout housewarming party when we get the construction done, but until then, it's pretty dusty.

OK, the space isn't really that bad (it's a picture from before we cleared the main space). And it'll be a lot cleaner by the time you get here, but we'l save some dust for ya!

So we'll have some really yummy pu-erhs, some green teas whose sweetness will knock your socks off, absolutely nothing with jasmine, and a ching cha that tastes like it was grown next to an orchid field. I'll bring out the small-leafed kudingcha (whose name literally translates as "bitter little things") that hints of watermelon and will have some of the Tea of a Hundred Bitters for those brave enough to try. There will be roasted oolongs that the back of your palate will remember the next day, sweet black tea like dessert wine, and maybe -- just maybe -- we'll have some RealBritishTea(tm) with scones & clotted cream. I'll fire up the stove and make sekrit recipe instant tea cookies. If I'm properly motivated, I'll boil up a pot of chai, and if all goes well, you'll get to see me running around like a head with its chicken cut off, trying to make sure everything's steeped at the proper temperature for the right amount of time. Whoa, did I just say all that?

So I'm selling some of my paintings at dirt cheap prices.

Here are some previews:

• My photocollage prints for $100 instead of the usual $245 and $360
• Landscape paintings -- pastorale & industriale -- starting at $100. This will be the first time I've had some of my industrial landscape work on sale.
• Photographs -- when was the last time I showed any of these? hoo.
• Works on Tar Paper: Industrial & Pastoral Landscapes and Figure Paintings
• And a whole bunch of works on paper for MakeOffer!
  (though some will be for MakeReallyGoodOffer)
  

  Recent Figure drawings in charcoal,
  Some Figure paintings
  landscapes, monotypes,
  abstracts, Drunken Circle Poems, and other misc
  even blank pieces of paper with Dali's signature forged on them.

555 De Haro #120.
between 18th & Mariposa
in sunny Potrero Hill
San Francisco

by bus: take the 10 or 22 to 17th & De Haro, walk a block & a half uphill (south) on De Haro. Or take the 19 to 17th & Rhode Island; walk a block downhill (East) to De Haro, then a block and a half uphill on De Haro. We're next to the Anchor Steam Brewery.

Once you're there: go all the way downhill in the parking lot; we're a nondescript door at the bottom, next to the ivy-covered fence.
