Sorry for all those who missed it, but we had a most excellent time making Animal  Frenemies (see the post below for more details about Frenemies in general or check out our original images here) with whoever walked into Paxton Gate for Kids on Valencia last Saturday. I think our first participant,  Xula, got it best with her “elabird”.  Its hobby: singing.

However, our personal favorite was when a little girl came in and Steve to draw something she could then color in. Her first choice, a gorilla, was inevitably going to look like a big black crayon blob, so we somehow got her to request a kitty.

Hmmmm… quite a shitty kitty, no?

Anyway, it was good clean fun working with them kids and them kind folks from Paxton Gate for Kids. We’ll be doing another event like this one there Saturday, July 18th , so if you missed this one, please come to our next! And as we’ve mentioned before– it’s kid oriented, but adult friendly.

And, we will soon have our original Frenemy Portraits framed and for sale at the store! We’ll let you know when that happens.

Here are all more photos from the event:

We’ll be having whoever walks into Paxton Gate for Kids (on Valencia between 19th and 18th in the old New College building) make their own animal friends and enimies. It’s pretty simple really, combine the animals you like for the perfect friend, then the animals you hate for the perfect enemy. Or, just pick some random animals and make up their hobby.

Example 1 (above): the donkey peacock “peadonk” would satisfy my desire to have a donkey as a pet and Casey’s wanting of having peacock feathers around often. It also reads to us. And with full voices for every character.

Example 2 (above): the “mousnaker” would always trip us in our small apartment while at the same time eat the fine cheese we occasionally treat ourselves with from BiRite. What a bad friend. Nay, what a good enemy!

Some come by this Saturday 2-4pm and make your own. And, yes, this is primarily for kids, but we won’t be checking IDs or anything.

Well, since last week you can find them at the fine shop, Needles and Pens, located on 16th just up the hill from Guerrero St. In the coming weeks they’ll have some of Casey’s stationery, too. Go and check it owwwwt.

Wow. Thanks everyone ever so much for coming to the First-Ever-Shitty-Kitty meetup and thanks to Shotwell’s for never at any point asking us to leave. (I think I (Steven) did ask friendly-bartender Laura exactly how many Shitty Kittys would equal a free beer. I never did find out.) So shall we do this again next week?

GREAT work all of you Shitty Kitty drawers and writers.Below are a good deal of the photos. The best way to see them is to click on the first one and then arrow through the slideshow from there. Which one is your favorite?

Oh, and for those of you lucky enough to witness the unveiling of Shat Cat, those are coming soon…

It’s still on. Hope to see you there, this Thursday 6:30 pm at Shotwell’s Bar. (Shotwell’s is on 20th and Shotwell). Mention Shitty Kitty and you’ll probably get a free Shitty Kitty. Though, like everything, you never know.

There is it is. A loyal shitty kittyer just sent this in and BCCed me. Was he the first? Was he even in Brooklyn? That bridge looks suspicious…

Anyway, please send you with your shitty kitty to innout (at) fecalface.com

… and we’d love it if you BCCed steven@telephoneandsoup.com and/or casey@telephoneandsoup.com, too.

Attention Shitty Kitty fans–we need your help!

Fecal Face Gallery in SF is having a week-long summer show series. They’re taking five shows and we want to make shitty kitty be one of them! Are plan is to cover the walls of Fecal Face gallery with probably around one million shitty kittys. Help us!

There’s some kind of jury involved who will choose the artists, but we really want your help to skew the odds! Can anyone who has their own shitty kitty please take a picture of you with it in your workspace, bathroom, loving embrace… anywhere, and send it along to Fecal Face’s submission email. Here is the email – innout (at) fecalface.com . Please have “I’M SHITTY WITH SHITTY KITTY, TOO” in your subject line.

And maybe you didn’t get a shitty kitty (poor thing!), or have already  given it as a gift to your spouse/colleague/pet. Here’s another one you could print out.

And here’s an idea of a picture you could take with it…

Ok. That’s a little creepy. Maybe you’ll do better.

And don’t forget to come to our meetup on the 21st at 6:30 pm Shotwell’s bar on 20th and Shotwell.

Thanks ever so much.

Just did a bunch more of those wanted dudes. I liked this one too much to sell it, but we’ve got more.

Just in case you were wondering.

Just about says it all. See you on the 21st!
