Take Me With You #2| 30" x 22.5"| Watercolor on paper by Omar Vizquel. CaldwellSnyder Gallery
Omar Vizquel, the 19 year MLB veteran is arguably one of the best shortstops to play the game, but now he’s branching out and he’d like to be considered more than just a 9 time Golden Glove winner and slugger, he can paint too! Tomorrow at the CaldwellSnyder Gallery at 5:00pm, Jose Mesa’s rival will be displaying his paintings and watercolors to benefit the Giants Community Fund.

From a reader:
The museum is filled with 150 floral arrangements that salute, riff off of or duplicate works of art and sculpture. It’s a visual feast and the museum smells like heaven! They offer seven different lectures on different styles of floral design by an international group of floral designers, as well as afternoon tea, a seated lunch and Hat Day, where visitors wear their best botanical-inspired hats and are judged by four Bay Area hat connoisseurs.

Perpetually cool, Japanese fashion design can’t fail to inspire even the most fashion clueless.
A current exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco is showcasing the works of Japanese Fashion Designers Rei Kawakubo, Issey Miyake, and Yohji Yamamoto from 1983-present. Go see it. Even if you aren’t a fan of haute couture, or claim not to “understand” it, this is a show worth checking out. The garments elegantly blur the lines between fashion and art creating a sculptural impact that is just plain sexy.
On that note, fellas, let your lady know that you’re in the know. Throw on your Mihara Yasuhiro sneakers, grab a bottle of nice sake to sip and take a hot date there! You won’t be sorry.

The uncomfortable pain of separation between the physical self and emotional self.
By: Favianna Rodriguez
Silkscreen
2007, Los Angeles
From Favianna’s website:
This is a print I completed after a painful separation from my lover of seven years, which took place in late December 2006. The piece depicts the two sides of my person, one side being the self-centered, neurotic, workaholic artist. During an artist residency in Provincetown, Massachusetts, I was able to develop alot of preliminary concepts about my own experiences. I completed about seven concepts and this was one of them. I revisited this piece in December 2006, as I was undergoing the physical and emotional separation. In those conditions, one finds it hard to imagine another possibility for love, the hours pass very slowly…. at that time my motivation to create work was extremely low, however, I managed to create this piece, which became an outlet for me. As we were printing. the emulsion kept falling off the screen, so we were only able to print a few of these. At one point, I could no longer print the red hand, so I had to spray it on with a stenciled film.
