The Paint Pens Collective

Paint Pens Collective (PPC) is a national alternative art community based in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you enjoy pop art, contemporary art, 90's cartoons, illustration, animation, etc, then you are likely to find something you like here. This nomadic collective can be found curating shows throughout the city, as well as in other states. They currently co-host "Quick Draw SF" an established monthly sketch event, held every third Thursday in San Francisco. Curated by Shayna Yasuhara
