5th Period with Judge Dekreon

The ninth graders performed their mock trial last Thursday after preparing direct testimonies, court papers, and cross examinations.

It was a very positive day!

Judges Harold Kahn, Ronald Albers, and Gail Dekreon were impressed by the students’ preparation.

This is the 11th year in a row that ninth graders at Leadership High School have participated in a trial at the San Francisco Superior Court.

Artillery AG: Local Fashion is Good For You

Ivan Lopez, owner of Artillery AG.

Upon stepping into Artillery Apparel Gallery, you’re immediately faced with a huge, gold framed easel, holding a t-shirt, stretched like canvas, in various stages of painting. This is no upright screen-print job, but rather, hand-painted t-shirts by Artillery AG’s owner, Ivan Lopez.

Lopez is straight up, born-and-bred Mission hip. After studying Industrial Design at Pratt and selling his shirts on street corners in NYC, he returned to SF and open Artillery AG right in his hometown hood, the Mission.

Artillery AG opened in 2009 with 7 local artisans and now features over 40 of the Bay Areas best designers taking over 70% of the store’s merchandise. Lopez says he wanted a concrete, creative environment to promote independent art and design. The stores features North Beach’s Indie Industries, Nicacelly reconstructed women’s apparel, Platinum Dirt leather clutch bags, and elegant silver jewelry by Maria Engracia.

Headlining all of the merch is of course, Lopez’ signature painted t-shirts. Lopez hand-paints each shirt right in the store, with his special blend of acrylic and fabric medium. The shirts are then heat-pressed to lock down the lively designs, ranging from kitschy ice cream cones to vibrant animals. The shirts start at $35, with custom work available, starting at $45.

The best part? Great art is always a great excuse to party. Artillery AG throws a big “Art Is Good For You”, art show every two months. This Saturday, join in on the festivities and check out SF artist, Shawn Ray Harris’ 3-D photography. This show will feature a series of photographs shot on Harris’ home-built camera, exclusively for Artillery AG.

Sean Ray Harris at Artillery AG (2751 Mission St.), Saturday Feb 5 – April 1. Opening reception Feb 5 from 7:30pm – 11pm, featuring live music.
