    Heavy metal wildlife
    Friscoco C.

    Speaking of orthodontia and San Francisco's 450 Sutter Building (Sutter Street Grill review, 8/11/14), getting me to set foot in an art gallery is like pulling teeth, but not so at American Visions Art Gallery on Folsom's Sutter Street. The window display beckoned with a framed print, a variation of that timeworn dogs-playing-poker scene, except it was Republican presidents. Also available was a similar print featuring Democrat presidents and the current incumbent playing poker, and another showing them playing pocket billiards. The deeper you venture into the store, the more you might appreciate it as a must-shop for those seeking to adorn a (pardon the triteness) man cave. Also for sale are sculptures created by Tom Warren from unlikely materials such as random surplus hardware, household flatware, and heads of golf clubs welded together. An introductory card amid his display tells of Warren's 30 years of welding and shaping metal to design components for the aerospace industry. He began his art career after retiring "as a means to teach two of his granddaughters...how to MIG [metal inert gas] weld," and he lives in [nearby] El Dorado Hills, reads the card. Among his most remarkable pieces are a metal-and-spark-plug man walking a pet dinosaur fashioned mostly from a scrap bike chain; a bodice made entirely of identical flat washers, and a backyard cookout scene. Take a moment to view the pix (and [please] VOTE!). I might not know art, but I know what I like when I see it.

    Rows of pop vinyls, if you're looking for one they probably have it!! Will def recommend this place to all my pop fans/collectors.

    YNOT Art Studio is the latest and greatest art gallery on Sutter Street…read more Intrigued by the business sign, which looks like a paint palette with the word "YNOT" on it, my daughter and I strolled in shortly after the gallery opened, which was in 2020. We barely even had time to look around before we were greeted by Tony, who introduced himself, and explained that "YNOT" was his name spelled backwards. We quickly got to chatting, and he explained that he didn't even start painting until his 70s, which was really only just a few years ago. This was hard to believe, because the art was so stunning, detailed, and imaginative. It looked like the work of someone who had been painting religiously for decades. He explained the stories behind a few of his paintings, and showed us one that he had painted for Alex Honnold. "Do you know who Alex Honnold is?" He asked. "I do, actually," I said. "No," said my daughter. And so Tony explained who Alex Honnold is. I added that I had seen him a few years ago, when I was on my way up to Half Dome. Apparently, Tony was so inspired by Alex that he decided to create a painting of Half Dome to give to him. He explained that he would be sending the artwork to Alex's mother soon. I didn't take a picture of it, but it was fantastic. Prices are relatively affordable, with many pieces under $200. For anyone out there looking for a last minute Mother's Day gift, here is another idea from me. You're welcome. While the shop is small, it is packed with artwork. The store is located in the back of the business alley behind Candle Bar and American Barber Shop. A large selection of Tony's artwork is available to view on his website at https://ynotartstudio.com/gallery/

He has many nice pieces we looked at but the kids were more enamored by his juke box which he was happy to let them play.

The staffers I spoke with were both so helpful & friendly. They had recently updated their hours--Tuesday through Sunday 9a-4p. On Saturdays, they offer a free docent led tour at 10a. You can also set up a docent tour ahead of time for an extra fee. General admission was $7 & our kiddo was $6. The museum is 2 stories with exhibits on the first floor & the current art exhibition in a gallery on the second floor. It's a bright, clean space with a nice layout & lots of room. There is a cute & organized gift shop with lots to browse. The restroom was clean & well-maintained. The museum has lots of info & artifacts. There are a few hands-on activities like a puzzle, making rubbings, & feeling pelts, but some buttons weren't working on the audio displays. History is presented from past to present, including tragedies native tribes faced. Outside, there is a 1/2 mile loop to walk & a garden of native plants. The trail was a very easy & peaceful nature walk. Along the way, you find informative signs about indigenous culture, nature, & see petroglyphs. We were told that if we stayed on the trail, we'd be fine, but there were possible hazards like ground wasps, ticks, & coyotes. The only wildlife we encountered were lots of dragon flies, turkeys, & squirrels. Staff at the counter were helpful, knowledgeable, & personable. This is a very worthwhile place for families to visit to learn about the history & culture of some of California's native people.

    Did you know you can go look at petroglyphs in Roseville, California? I certainly did not until…read morevisiting the Maidu museum. You cannot get up close and personal with them like you can in Sweden, but we know why this is and why we cannot have nice things. The museum has kindly set up visual maps that help visitors make out the glyphs along the nicely maintained nature trail. If you are visiting in summer please stay hydrated as the trail is only partially shaded. It's about a 1.5 mile loop, but there's a longer bike trail that it is connected to. All is well-marked. $7 admission will get you access to the walking trail (there's probably a way for local cyclists to access the trail without paying but idk man, I'm from out of town.) and the museum, which does have restrooms and a water fountain inside. My friend and I enjoyed the museum and art exhibits indoors, then our nice nature walk outside to view the petroglyphs, mortars, and grinding rocks. We saw raptors, turkeys, lizards, turtles, deer, rabbits, and probably other creatures I am forgetting by now. Definitely stay on the trail as there are these lovely things called ground hornets (stingers up) we were warned about by the friendly staff. The weather was blessedly fair for July (Pocki brought Swedish summer over here and then left with it when she went back home) so we only had to suffer high 80s on the trail. I highly recommend visiting with walking shoes and water bottles. We spent a good two hours here. One could bring a picnic as there are benches outside, but we didn't bring more than a few snacks. Parking is available wherever you can find it along the suburban street. There is not a dedicated lot, but there are a few disabled parking spaces in the front. Hours: Monday: Closed Tuesday - Sunday: 9AM-4PM

    For my birthday I was given a very large sticker card made by the now-grownup children from a…read morefamily I used to make sticker cards for long, long ago. They all worked on the card and the results blew me away. I wanted to be able to keep it and look at it forever, but it was fragile and needed expert framing. A friend suggested Artistic Edge, and the rest is history. Jessica spent the best part of an hour with me going over all the various possibilities. The color of the frame, the size, the matting, the various parts next to each other, the weight of what would be the final product. She acted like I was the only person of importance throughout all of this back-and-forth as I changed my mind over and over. Finally I was ready, and she said that it would be ready by X amount of time --- probably a bit sooner. Off I went. WEEKS before the date promised Kathy called and said the artwork was ready. When I arrived and saw it displayed I cried --- it was exactly what I wanted and ever so much more! Kathy talked to me --- and LISTENED --- as though I was the most important person in the world at that moment --- I told her all about who made the sticker card artwork and when and why, and she just listened and smiled and chatted and was wonderful. I took my artwork home, hung it up, and took pictures for all the sticker artists to enjoy. Everything has come out perfectly! This is a beautiful, meaningful, lovely piece of art, in the absolutely perfect frame. Artistic Edge did an awesome job --- they respected the artwork, they respected me, they threw their artistic talents into this, and I feel that at the same time they got a kick out of doing it. We all of us have beautiful, meaningful artistic treasures hanging around our homes. I can promise you that if you bring them in, Artistic Edge will give them glory in a whole new dimension! What a fantastic place!!!
