It came from Outside! And now it’s under the Big Umbrella…
It came from Outside! – is an art show and sale benefitting an after school program dedicated to teaching urban renewal through mural and graffiti projects. Curated by Jeremy Novy, this exhibit of street art and more opens Friday, September 14th at Big Umbrella Studios on Divisadero Street in San Francisco. Gay Highwaymen has donated a two-sided, mixed media Tough Love stencil (It’s No/All a Game) with hand-lettering on a game board. For the origins of the Leather David icon, click here.

Want to see Jeremy Novy’s Beef Noodle?!
Novy’s cool take-off of a Warhol soup can is on display with a lot of his other stencil work at Tough Love. They are scattered throughout the show here and there: a nod to the furtive nature of street art. And these three are installed over the Exit sign…another Art World in-joke for those who know why museums always make visitors…exit through the gift shop!
Beautiful Novy Nishikigoi dress the Porn Set…NSFW!
Hot Bear poses for still shots on the set at San Francisco’s Lone Star Saloon. Leans on the pool table. Koi Pool! Cool and Controversial Stencil Artist Jeremy Novy has been installing them all over town…and beyond. More on that soon. Meantime, cum see Novy’s Boots, Beef Noodles and Butch guys at Tough Love. Hot Art in SF at the Center for Sex and Culture – this September for Folsom!

Hump(ing) Make Art…
Sign seen in the back patio of the Lone Star Saloon on Harrison in San Francisco. Three stickers complete the modification. Hump becomes humping, of course. Two little mens room guys hang in the capital P. Yes…in the pee. And for the finish: Make Art. Paint Things. Be Awesome.
Sounds like a plan…the Lone Star also features stencil-and-spray artist Jeremy Novy‘s cool nishikigoi (koi) swimming perpetually around the pool table. Novy will show an example or three of his Leathermen series at Tough Love, an exhibit of hard homoerotic work that will open at the Center for Sex and Culture in September.
Wag More. Bark Less.
Good words for today. Or any day…woof!
