Like Che Guevara? Sick of the same old image you see on every tee and poster? Well Ernesto Yerena has something for you: two unique prints of the revolutionary icon in red and green. The image is bold yet personal, looking into a different side of the Che we all know (or think we know) so well.

Hell’s Bells is setting up for the art action and pine wood derby race tonight at The Shooting Gallery and White Walls from 6-9 pm. AS artist show up with their art and cars in hand, the lovely ladies of Hell’s Bells run around and set up for a night of music, dancing, raffles, art auctioning and of course the big race.

Doors open at 6 p.m., races begin at 8 p.m. This event is free-for-spectators with rockabilly, disco and old school beats provided by DJs Bardot & Michael Charming.

The silent auction will include hot rod-related artwork from all-star artists! All proceeds benefit the Bay Area Women’s & Children’s Center (www.bawcc.org). In the heart of San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood, the Bay Area Women’s and Children’s Center is a unique presence. In this multi-ethnic neighborhood, BAWCC focuses entirely on the needs and issues of low-income families, children, and women. BAWCC offers a variety of direct services that address immediate needs and assists with achieving long-term stability. BAWCC’s advocacy, planning and policy work on issues of low-income children and families has had a positive impact on the lives of thousands since we opened in 1981. BAWCC’s long-term projects have resulted in the creation of playgrounds, a recreation center, school, and family center.

Check out some of the art thats just arrived.

Furthering Ernesto Yerena’s exploration of Latin culture is his stenciled collage, “Bear of the Dead,” a play on the Mexican holiday that we all know and love. This piece is a collaboration with Philip Lumbang, an artist who knows his bears. We love the highly decorative Mexican style combined with the sharp contrast that Ernesto is known for.

Repeat offenders can only be handled in one manner: another solo exhibition. That is what Tes One has coming up at Redletter 1 in Tampa, Florida. The appropriately titled Repeat Offender opens October 3rd, just days before Tes One’s appearance in SF for The Stencil Show. We like this snippet from the press release:

“Combining traditional and non-traditional techniques, Tes One creates contemporary works of art that contrast nature with technology, grime with grace. Allowing himself to find beauty in the mundane, he is able to juxtapose rejected landscapes with figurative illustrations, all the while identifying what is common between the conversing elements.”

Our buddy Ramblin Worker is brewing up some magic for his October exhibition at Gallery Three. Meanwhile we spotted his newest wall piece, pictured above, which can be found in the SOMA district of San Francisco. Until September 29th you can also view Ramblin Worker’s newest pieces at Rare Device, boasting intricate stitch work and bold colors. Look out for this man on the move for Upstairs Is Where the Magic Happens opening October 10th, 2009 at Gallery Three.

The Bolinas Art Shack is an inspiring abode to say the least and Mike Shine has been getting the most out of it this summer. We are showing his ever darkening works at the Aqua Wynwood art fair in Miami, taking place this November. Mike sent over these preview shots of what he’s got going:

Want more? Mike currently has works on display at Soap Gallery in San Francisco, which got great coverage from Fecal Face. Stay tuned for more menacing mythology from Mike Shine.

In good tradition, D Young V spent the eve of his opening throwing up a collection of street characters on the block. San Francisco Youth Report brought an impressive crowd up the stairs to Gallery Three, and everyone was in good spirits. Thanks to everyone who came out in support of our beloved Tenderloin artist. Look on for more details from Saturday’s opening reception at Gallery Three: home to D Young V’s works on paper until October 3rd, 2009.
