My cousin, Dorian is an artist based in the Bay Area. When she has her next opening, I will be sure to let my SF buds and readers know so youse can all meet this great dame and wildly talented artist. BFF, Cormac , I hope you and the missus can make it (no guilt, I promise). Dorian is tremendously talented, very unique and dark. Her work is soul food at its finest. See for yourselves right here and here . If you want, friend her on Facebook . While I'm on the subject of fine art and San Francisco artists, have you seen Freaky Jewelry's blog ? Her jewelry is as dark as it is whimsical and as distinctive as she is. You must run like a dawg. Each piece has a yarn. Check it out, yo! Love this broad's work and she is such a honey. PS: Liberality and Border Explorer , thanks for the ya know's . I will be posting this week.
