Cyclists of SF: Photo Shoot #1

Mike Giant — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:24:00 +0000

I got a posse together last night to shoot the first four girls in a new photo/illustration series that for now I’m calling “Cyclists of San Francisco”. The finished pieces will debut at a solo show in Milan, Italy in February.

The evening started with a beer run, as most shoots do. I had to do this beer run twice! That’s hella beers, dude.

I photographed Zey first…

Then Karina…

Then Katy…

And finally Becca!

This was a real team effort. I gotta thank the models for bearing with the cold and all the beer swilling on-lookers. Thanks to Sean at The Medicine Agency for supplying the location and photographic assistance. Thanks to Gabby, Glenn and Alma for taking care of all the hair and makeup. Thanks to Aisha for styling the whole shoot. Thanks to Francisco for all your assistance and for taking these photos. Thanks to Andrew, Jason, Rob, Colin, Lincoln, Jason Yim and the other guys who’s names I’ve already forgotten who brought their bikes in for the shoot. Y’all really came through at the last minute.

The next shoot is planned for Tuesday Dec 8th. Please email me if you have a sweet bike I can use for the next shoot. I mostly looking for nice track bikes in smaller sizes. And I’m always looking for new models…

I only have 4 of these espresso stained editions of the “San Francisco” poster available. They measure 22×30″. They were printed by Nat Bloom at Bloom Press in Oakland on heavy watercolor paper. They are all finished with matte UV varnish.

They are $300 each here at The Skullz Press. Cash only please. Or, if you can’t drop by the studio, I will ship one anywhere in the US for $320. Thank you.

Divis Art Crawl and NeighborhoodSF Show

Thanks to everyone that stopped by for the Divisadero Art Crawl, except for those sketchy fools that spent too much time in the bathroom.

Around 9:30pm we closed the shop and headed down to 111 Minna for the NeighborhoodSF show. I was greeted by this awesome Jeremy Fish piece.

The gallery was packed! I’ve had a cold the last few days so I didn’t last long in the mayhem. The medicine I’ve been on makes me super tired and I just couldn’t hang, bra.

But I did get to see most of the work in the show and I liked it a lot. I’ll head back this week sometime for a closer look.

I got a lot of compliments on the drawings I offered for the show. Thanks, y’all.

Wish I could have talked to more of you.
