Spotted a @beau_666_beau post regarding people poking fun at his beloved big shorts. Couldn’t resist taking my own shot(s) (all puns intended, always) and sharing Beau in shorts, pants and cardboard. (I can feel the giant eye roll & sigh coming from Costa Rica. Love you, fren! 🖤) 1️⃣ Me and Beau (📸 by the most excellent @chrisboartslarson ) 2️⃣ On the monitors @bottomofthehillsf 3️⃣ Antics @bottomofthehillsf 4️⃣ PANTS!

Stoked to be part of Carnival, curated by @tweebutcherette at Adobe Books. Opens Friday, March 6th - 6pm to 9pm Art, Music, Community, Fun! (On display until April 5th) The streets of San Francisco constantly provide random abandoned food, funny garbage, discarded underwear and excellent graffiti. When I go out for a walk, I get a little giddy about the endless possibilities of “what am I going to find today?” I’ll be showing a grip of my street scores (plus a few bands shots). Swipe through, you’ll probably smile at least once. Adobe Books 3130 24th Street SF, CA #streetcheese #observethetime #adobebooks #theroadiegirlarchives #streetsofsanfrancisco

Decades ago, @juninhosangiorgio patiently fielded non-stop language and food questions during the What Happens Next? tour of Brasil. He’s one of the kindest humans I’ve ever met. Here’s a few shots celebrating our long friendship, Devon Morf and my giant O INIMIGO print “punching” me in the nose. 1️⃣ O INIMIGO - 924 Gilman 2️⃣ Goofballs (with #cancurtain) 3️⃣ Juninho & Devon Morf 4️⃣ Me, getting punched by my own photo! #theroadiegirlarchives #thisiswhywearethepunks #devonmorfhasnoinstagram #deathbyathousandnostalgiccuts

NEW ZINE AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER. Death By A Thousand Nostalgic Cuts Vol 2: Muses by Karoline Hanson Collins. A new 60 page photo zine that explores the people and situations in Karoline's life that inspire her breathtaking portraits and live shots. This zine covers nearly 30 years of candid moments, jump shots, humor and lightning in a bottle moments. Karoline is interviewed by Erin Yanke (@erin_yanke ) and Greg Harvester about her life and the moments that keep a camera in her hand. Further editing and layout by Jessica Mills (@jessicajoymills ) and Alec Dunn (@ix.nay ) . @flukefanzine helped with the technical things that I can't do. Karoline's photos are great, but don't take my word for it. Scroll through to see what Heather Freinkel (CIRCUIT, SURRENDER, amazing photographer and lifetime ruler), Bill Daniel (Photo maniac, Who Is Bozo Texino?, a real one) and Max Ward (SPAZZ, 625 Thrashcore, SCHOLASTIC DETH, CAPITALIST CASUALTIES) have to say about the zine and her photography. Pre-order info is at the link in my bio. If you would like to get a pile of them for your store or distro, please contact [email protected]. I'm very excited to get this one out into the world.

Stoked to kick off the year with some work in this giant group show! RayKo is a truly special spot to experience art, music, films & (most importantly) community. Show deets from @prettygritty_sf ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Another kooky Pretty Gritty exhibition-Jan 23-25. “Bay Area, When?!” is our follow up to the inspiring YBCA Bay Area Then show which closes in a week. We are digging deeper into the theses that curator Eungie Joo staked out at YBCA—that SF’s art community in the 80s and 90s had a particular street magic. “Bay Area, When?!” expands on that view with a roster of over 35 artists, known and unknown, from that period and today. With zombie tech fascists taking over everything (RIP CCA, SFAI) we are fighting for the soul of our town, with art, music and films. Pls support. (we have a non-profit sponsor now!) Be safe and unafraid. #theroadiegirlarchives #punksonfilm #observethetime #deathbyathousandnostalgics

Are you a zine collector completist? Are you a Hickey fan, maybe even a full fledged NAKED CULT OF HICKEY devotee?! You’re in luck! There’s a new extended remix version of my Hickey photo zine that’s hot off the presses. Published by the eternally patient @remoteoutposts ; here’s the scoop: Take a photo journey with SF punk band Hickey as seen through the lens of Karoline Hanson Collins who kept the band alive...errr, ROADIED for them...on 3 tours between 1994-1996. Tons of sweaty live photos and tender behind-the-scenes moments that tell a story of a Naked Cult that is still vibrant 30 years later. Originally released in 2022, this is a 2025 reprint with 8 new pages, including postcards from the road, a pic of the elusive Hickey Million and much more! 36 pages, 8.5x11”, full color, pro-printed, saddle-stitched. Looks like something you’d pick up at a KISS or Duran Duran concert in 1983 and THAT’S A GOOD THING! Head on over to: remoteoutposts.bigcartel.com If you’re in SF December 12, 13 or 14 you can get a copy live and in person from the most excellent @flukemags @flukepublishing table at the @prettygritty_sf Gary Floyd art extravaganza! . . . . . #theroadiegirlarchives #hickey #nakedcultofhickey #punksontour #nikonn90 #zine #photozines #observethetime #mattyluv #theroadiegirl #makesuretherearentanysquaresatmyfuneral #deathbyathousandnostalgiccuts
