NEEDLES + PENS - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Our aim is to stay vital, relevant, and a float in the sea of mediocrity that ungulfs contemporary culture.We'd like to believe that what were doing, hopefully, won't be labled as another "boutique art gallery" (...fucking barf, can this trend die already...???).
Currently on display at Needles + Pens:

Needles + Pens is an emporium of zines, d.i.y. goods, and an art gallery. Located in San Francisco's Mission district, the space aims to provide an affordable place where like minded people from the community can display and sell their own home-made goods, home-published zines, and art work. The items we stock are predominately recycled, silk screened, cut-up, re-sewn, photocopied, hand-made, and hand-published.

...and now, we sell records - SS Records (click on that dude's sSSs head below to see what I'm talkin' about).
