Black Friday Sale!

It is that time of year again; Santa's wayward elfs have been hard at work exploring the cavernous storage areas and back offices of Super7.  These elfs aren't searching for the over hyped or under produced toys that drove collectors crazy throughout the year.  No they are looking for the forsaken and forgotten toys who have been passed over by collectors as they scrambled to buy the latest craze or saved their pennies to afford an elusive grail.

Birds of a Feather 2

Super7 is proud to present the follow up to 2007's blockbuster show "Birds of a Feather" with the new aptly titled show "Birds of a Feather 2" featuring artwork by Dora Drimalas, Heather Amuny-Dey and Shay Ashley-Ometz. This show features three original new prints from each artist (nine in total) as well as a sampling of older, out-of-print and rare prints from each artist's personal archive to create a whimsical and wonderful reflection on their lives.

Birds of a Feather 2's title is taken from the popular phrase "Birds of a feather flock together", as these three women share an important bond as friends, as well as each one having established themselves a significant role in the male driven world of design. It is a rare confluence of talent and ambition that has led each of them to become some of the most respected designers working today. Birds of a Feather 2 is their chance to share more personal work about life, love, heartbreak, happiness that feature our fair feathered friends.

Birds of a Feather 2 is comprised exclusively of limited edition, hand screenprinted, signed and numbered editions of art that are priced for the average customer. The works lend themselves perfectly to be framed (sized to fit a standard 16x20 frame) and priced at a moderate $40 per print, the show is an overt attempt to create unique items and gifts in time for the holidays, and to encourage the access and opportunity to have and give artwork for those who traditionally are not able to afford it.

Birds of a Feather2 opens at Super7 San Francisco (1628 Post St., San Francisco, Ca. (415) 409-4700) on Saturday, November 21st at 7pm, with Dora Drimalas and Heather Amuny-Dey in attendance, and on Saturday, November 28th at 6pm at Super7 Florida (720 2nd Street North, St. Petersburg, Fl. 33701, (727) 822-8685). High resolution images are available for any needs that you have.

All riders and all kinds of bicycles are welcome. Racers should arrive at the Bow & Arrow between 11:30am-12:00pm to register.

This is a really fun event for a great cause. Last year's food collection was enough to provide over 4,000 meals to those in need.
