First of all congrats to our buddy artist Jay Howell and Mark Whalen on their show Midnight On the Sun, which opened to a huge crowd last Saturday, February 18 @FFDG gallery in SF.  Unfortunately I was unable to attend, but I heard that it was a truly fun filled evening of art buying and boozing!  

Also check out this write up / interview with Jay on SF Bay Guardian.

Looks like Jay sold out on his pieces and has just posted a few more he’s been working on.  Also, he writes that he’ll be working on a “bike . . for GT and also more Creature Skateboards.” We can’t wait!

Preview of some of artist Jay Howell’s works for is upcoming show Midnight on the Sun with Mark Whalen at Fecal Face Dot Gallery, Saturday, February 18th.

SAN DIEGO, CA:   Double Break is very excited to announce our fifth exhibition, Double Breaks, a group show co-curated by LA-based artist Jay Howell and Louis M Schmidt.

Sun and many more!
