renegade round-up.

held this past weekend, the 2nd annual san francisco renegade craft fair was double the fun this year! it was jam-packed! and full of some fresh new work i’d yet to see, like my purchases for the day, silk screen prints from Montréal-based artist jason cantoro and his cinqunquatre studio partner alice jarry (just below). i just loved their uniquely beautiful work. not only was renegade bustling with people perusing the many booths and having a great time, the vendors seemed to be doing a grand business of selling, too, which in this economy is great news, and i’m sure, very much appreciated by all the artists in attendance at renegade this year. next up – renegade chicago, september 12 & 13. here’s a peek at what i was able to capture.
