In the market for framed drawings of animals looking away from the big-ass guns they are holdinging?  Well, Wonderland SF has you covered with a big pile of prints for around twenty bucks.

Shawn Ray Harris has been making 3D art in San Francisco for decades, but only just started exploring “drawtography” over the past few years.  It works like this: you slap on a pair of retro red/blue glasses and everyone's favorite San Francisco and Mission District scenes jump right off the canvas.

Shawn explains the inspiration behind the works:

3D photography can be so many different things. Traditionally it's defined as any imaging process capable of recording three-dimensional information giving the illusion of depth. To me, 3D photography includes old vintage photographs paired up and printed side by side on a card, then viewed in an antique stereoscope. The View-Master used the same concepts and was for many of us, our first introduction to 3D. The process that holds the greatest interest to me though, is the anaglyph. Typically, 3D processes used cameras with two lenses spaced eye width apart, shooting onto one piece of film. The anaglyph is different in that one image is being assigned a red value and the other image is assigned a blue value, then both images are overlaid and the illusion of depth is created when viewed with the red/blue glasses. To me, one attraction to the anaglyphs is the use of these old-school glasses. These glasses were such a novelty as a kid. There were times I remember putting them on to look at a huge 3D drawing of Spiderman. It was as if I had witnessed some sort of mad sorcery, Spiderman was leaping off the page. The challenges of blurring mediums from photography to illustration made the anaglyph process an intriguing one. Such a low tech process with a look that is so unique, I find it difficult to compare it to anything else. The impact of those 3D comic illustrations were early inspirations.

If you have an itch to deck your walls in 3D street scenes, or just check out these crazy pieces in real life, head over to Artillery on Mission (between 23rd and 24th) before they're all snatched up.

Thought You Knew's somewhat controversial bicycle pinup calendar is making its West Coast debut at tonight at Photobooth.  Photobooth promises the presence of lovely ladies, sexy pinup art, hot bikes, and hella tintype photography—presumably this show is BYOB.

For the unfamiliar, this is what TyK's calendar is all about:

Beyond putting the most slammin’ hot pinups possible onto a calendar page, TyK is dedicated to helping women become more confident. Confident not only on their bikes, but in the rest of their lives. Cycling once freed women from the strict requirements of fashion, providing an excuse to untie their corsets and don bloomers rather than long skirts. The mobility that a bicycle brought to those women was even more empowering.

TyK’s pinups draw on that same tradition of empowerment through the personal mobility, while also letting women find confidence in the ownership of their sexuality. The experience of being the center of attention during their photo shoot does not fade when the lights go down and the hairspray washes out. Each woman carries her pinup self with her wherever she goes, into board rooms or bike shops.

TyK's Alexis Finch also describes the project as a way to break down the pervasive stereotypes of women in the cycling world as being either “totally girly or as one of the guys.”

A pinup girl owns her sexuality. The tiny little peek of an ankle that you get to see; it's the flirtatious look over a shoulder. It's about knowing what you've got, and giving it out in whatever dose you feel like giving it. For women in the cycling community, where your sexuality has been so much of a detriment to being taken seriously…if you can realize the power that that has, it makes it a lot easier to walk in to a shop and be like: yeah, I got all this, but I also know how to fix a flat.

You can read more about the project over at The A.V. Club, or just head over Photobooth (1193 Valencia @ 23rd) tonight at 7.
