Inspired by: Renegade Round-up
Now that I don’t sell retail any more I was able to go out to the San Francisco Renegade fair just as a shopper. There was unfortunately a bit of repetition, which will happen whenever any meme proves itself to be commercially successful. I saw at least four booths selling spiral-bound journals made from recycled book covers, and there were more mustaches, bacon and abstracted San Francisco maps than you could shake a stick at. Still, when you have 300ish vendors, you’re bound to find a few new and interesting things and find them I did! Here is a sampling of a few of the artists I admired this year:
Emma SanCartier’s oddFAUNA sculpture shadow boxes:
“Jesus Saves the Dinosaurs” and other irreverent collages by Unusual Cards:
And Whitney Smith’s gorgeous pottery. Would LOVE one of her bowl sets:
Oh man, I’ve been coveting Whitney Smith’s pottery for a while now. The bowls, the cake stands, the CUPCAKE stands?!?! So fun.
