FOUR SQUARE group show coming this fall!
Taking advantage of the gallery’s location in North Beach (which draws a lot of tourists and a lot of children), FOUR SQUARE will expose new audiences to the incredible variety and quality in independent comics. 30 local and international artists have been asked to produce a single, 8x8inch, 4-panel comic. The subject and medium is open. By limiting the format and hanging the work, each artist’s unique approach will be emphasized equally. A catalogue of the show will be printed by LA-based, Never Press.

Aaron Shunga / Aidan Koch / Alabaster / Anna Deflorian / Dane Martin / Gabe Gonzales / Hicham Amrani / James Chong / Jesse Balmer / Jesse Fillingham / John Malta / Jon Vermilyea / Jonny Negron / Karissa Sakumoto / KJ Martinet / Lale Westvind / Laura Perez-Harris / Leah Wishnia / Lizz Hickey / Malachi Ward / Matt Furie / Michael Olivo / Niv Bavarsky / Patrick Kyle / Roman Muradov / Sam Hayes / Sophia Foster-Dimino / Tim Beckhardt / Tom Hunter / Tom Toye / Zejian Shen

ADAPT by Jonny Negron now available to order
“Roses From Concrete” – Matt Seneca’s essay begins with a quote from Lord Jamar in Ice-T’s “The Art of Rap”, pulling back the curtain on the secret origin of hip hop. Hip hop was the creation of something from nothing; taking the materials at hand and turning them into instruments. Parallels are drawn between the outlaw artforms and their revolutionary heritage. Accompanied by over two dozen portraits of the greatest rappers in history as illustrated by Jonny Negron, and a 2Pac comic.
