Tinhorn Public Works: The Last Waltz.

Comment: Tinhorn Public Works, formerly Tinhorn Press/Gallery closes after five years, so let's have a party. The news isn't all sad, however, as the same folks who own Tinhorn also own Momi Toby's Revolution Cafe and Art Bar right across the street, where they'll continue to hold shows.

Varnish Fine Art: Duck Soup.

Artists: Ana Bagayan, Michael Beck, Justin DeGarmo, Joseph Daniel Fiedler.

Comment: The show's called Duck Soup 'cuz a percentage of the paintings are duck-esque in nature, but there's other stuff too. Respectable selection in the mid- to upper hundreds $$; top price around $6500.

East Side Editions: Jessica Dunne - Recent Works.

Comment: East Side Editions, fine art print publishers, relocated from Sonoma to San Francisco in December 2006. Not sure whether they've had any shows since the inception, seeing as they're more a publisher than a gallery. But this is my first, and it's worth a look-- an impressive array of images by noted San Francisco printmaker Jessica Dunne. My preference? Her soft-shadow bicycle images.
