. . . and rightly so. We created this edition with Silverman Gallery for Yuval Pudik’s solo show, Enduring Patiently. The prints were mentioned in Kenneth Baker’s review of the show which is here.
Prints available from Silverman Gallery!

For those of you who couldn’t make it to the opening reception for Enrqiue Chagoya, here’s our favorite snap shot from the night.

In keeping with the Vegas-theme of the show, we had cocktail waitresses, well, our style of cocktail waitresses, at any rate. We had fun picking out the outfits. Aren’t those great little hats? We’re hoping for some more themed openings in the future . . .

Kind people!
Paul Madonna will be showing a new series of drawings at our neighbors just down the way: BellJar. Find Paul Madonna’s Things Your Grandmother Taught You To Steal To Survive A Depression on display in BellJar’s gallery from May 20 through June 17, as well as featured in The Believer magazine’s upcoming June issue. BellJar’s gallery serves as a nice compliment to the eclectic collection of gorgeous little things in the Mission District storefront.
Exciting news about these images is that you’ll be seeing these in the forthcoming publication by Paul Madonna, Album published by Electric Works.

Looking at our store analytics, we weren’t too surprised to see the vast majority of our visitors coming from California. I mean, it’s our home state, and even Mondale could do that.
But to our friends in the north: Hello! You’ve remained silent for so long, but we know you’re there.
First order at store.sfelectricworks.com from North Dakota receives 10% off.

Natalie: We run a pretty tight ship around here Noah.
Noah: With a slot machine?
Natalie: It’s a gaming ship.

Ten points to anyone who just got my Arrested Development reference. Anyone who knows anything about us E-Dubians knows we like to blur the lines between fine art and fun. That said, we are excited to announce that plans are underway for our latest project in our multiple series: a slot machine, or “One Armed Bandit” as we’ve been calling it around the shop, featuring the artwork of Enrique Chagoya. Preliminary drawings set the year 2012, the ancient Mayan doomsday, as their theme and feature talking skulls, cataclysmic fireballs, and even the likeness of Chagoya with serpentine body. Sound awesome? You bet it is. Get ready to come try your luck in May when the OAB will make its debut along with several other original prints and multiples by the artist. You won’t get rich, but you just might walk away with a little Chagoya coinage in your pocket.

We’re loving it here (when we’re not locked in the gallery during beautiful weather). And what better way to celebrate than by flying your own balsa wood gliders and planes? We just got a huge shipment in of these guys, so come on down and get your flying ensemble ready.
