LITTLE TREE - NEEDLES & PENS - COLLAGE GALLERY WHITE WALLS - SHOOTING GALLERY - VIRGIN MEGASTORE RECEIVER - A.MUSE - MOVE ON ART! - SUPER 7 STORE 10.6-7.06 Little Tree Gallery: Tim Sullivan and Maggie Foster - We'd Both Be Better Off. Comment: Quirky little California-and-the-state-its-in collaboration between Tim Sullivan and Maggie Foster manifests a plywood panel multi-bulb map of California wall lamp ($1600) and event-style publicity posters for California inmates executed in 2005 ($75 each/$250 for four) by Maggie Foster, and by Tim Sullivan, mirror tile prints of the Dead Kennedy's first album cover, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables ($50 each or 42 in a grid for $1700). By the way, profits from sales of the death penalty posters go to organizations working to abolish the death penality. Execution broadsides (Maggie Foster - like 'em). Cali lamp with flash (Maggie Foster). Cali lamp w/o flash (Maggie Foster - like it). Dead Kennedy mirror art (Tim Sullivan). Tim Sullivan - Jayne Mansfield (by Tim Sullivan) - Maggie Foster.

Comment: People dedicated to skateboarding unite around art to raise funds for Keep A Breast, a nonprofit breast cancer awareness organization. Here's how it works-- skateboard world personalities have casts made of their breasts, and skateboard world artists decorate them. The casts themselves will be auctioned online at the Keep A Breast website after the show closes or you can buy photographs of the artists and "castees" now for $300 each. A most entertaining show, by the way, with considerable time, care, and skill going into decorating the casts. Art. Art. Art. Art. Art. Art. Tunes. Art.

Comment: If you ever wonder how artists (good ones) make art, I can't think of a better place in San Francisco to educate yourself than at a Shooting Gallery/White Walls "Day in the Life of a Painting" show. This episode is expanded from one day to two-- lasting from 11 am to 11 pm Saturday and 11 am to 6 pm Sunday. Watch a number of the Bay Area's top artistic talents in action. You can look over their shoulders, ask 'em questions, take their pictures, study techniques, and all kinds of irritating stuff like that-- it only happens here. Henry Lewis - art. Shawn Barber - art.

Tonight's featured guest is Devo front man Mark Mothersbaugh, now making art of the eclectic animatory mildly macabre variety, mainly small-edition prints and a new project called Mutatoy, an ersatz-terrarium populated with characters looking somewhat like a cross between the Michelin Man and the Pillsbury Doughboy. Priced $250-$1000; most $300-$500. Mark Mothersbaugh - art. Art. Mutatoy art. Art. Art. *** Move On Art!: Jacob Kanduch - On-tol-o-gy.
