THE HEAD VERSUS THE HEART

My next solo exhibition will be in Tokyo Japan opening on 4/17/24 at the WAG Gallery 3F, 4-26-28 Jingumae Shibuya-ku. This show is in cooperation with Hidden Champion Magazine, and FTC. The work will be a combination of screen prints and original drawings, ink on paper. The title of this show is “The Head Versus The Heart” and is an obervation on how decisions get made, and what part of the body controls and directs those decisions. I am really looking forward to returning to Japan for a show after many years. Huge thanks to Kent from FTC San Francisco for making this opportunity happen.

The original drawings for the exhibition are from a project I am working on with my Mother. She writes these stories based on traditional fables, and I use her words to inspire these drawings. New screen print editions will be available at the show.

THE KOALABEE CHAMP

Last month I had the opportunity to visit Melbourne Australia and have an exhibition at a place called the On The Corner Gallery, carefully curated by a wonderful dude named Eddie Zammit. I displayed 100 different screen prints spanning over the last 15 years. I would like to thank the city of Melbourne, Eddie, all the folks who helped make the show happen, and the hundreds of lovely people who attended the show.

MOMENTS FESTIVAL 2023 / MALAGA SPAIN

I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the 10th anniversary of the Moments Arts Festival in Malaga Spain in mid October 2023. I had an exhibition of 60 screen prints. Painted a small mural at a popular local bar called “Drunkorama”, and taught a workshop at the Marbella Design Academy. I have had the pleasure of traveling all over the world for this job, and this was one of the greatest trips I have ever had. My sincere thanks to Juan and the gang from Staf Magazine, Dani and the staff at Drunkorama, the special mermaid, and the staff and students at the Marbella Design Academy.

ENDANGERED MURAL IN MIAMI

I just completed one of the largest paintings in the world’s largest mural district here in Wynwood. It took myself and two other painters roughly two weeks, and almost 70 gallons of paint to complete the project. I am very proud of the results.

“ENDANGERED”
54 feet wide x 100 feet tall (each wall)
Acrylic paint on concrete
NW 23rd st. x NW 2nd Ave.
Miami, Florida
2023

This piece was inspired by the official state animals from where I live, and where I painted this mural. Both the California Grizzly and The Florida Panther became endangered during man’s expansion in to their native turf. I thought it was a larger than life way to celebrate these majestic beasts and their struggle with humans. The property owners requested a design that created a connection between San Francisco California and Miami Florida.

I could not have done a piece at this scale without the help and experience from two rad expert type dudes. Infinite gratitude and respect to Daniel Antelo and Guillaume Ollivier for helping me to make these massive beasts come to life.

Thanks again To Jesse Feldman and Glenn Gilmore for trusting me to cover their giant Cube building with all of this paint.

Big thanks to Harold Ruiz for taking such amazing photos and drone footage of our process on the wall.

Just goes to show that even at almost 50 years old, you can still teach an old dog (fish) new tricks. Grateful to still be experimenting, expanding and exploring the boundaries of my artwork every day. Thanks again to all of my real friends, fans, followers, collaborators and collectors for all of the support over the last few decades to help get me to where I am today.

THE FISH BUILDING

This year I have been working on redesigning and transforming a building next door to the Francis Ford Coppola building at 900 Kearny here in North Beach. Before I turn 50 I will celebrate living in San Francisco for 30 years, and upon completion of this project the building will be named after me and my art studio will be on the roof. I still love you San Francisco, and I am truly grateful for all the wonderful opportunities you have gifted me over the last three decades.

Huge thanks to Jesse, Glenn and Stephanie at the Brick and Timber Collective for the opportunity

WORK IN PROGRESS

FRANCISCO MIDDLE SCHOOL MURAL

I painted this mural recently for the Francisco Middle School Library. My message was to remind these kids that wisdom and ideas still come from these crazy things called books.

Francisco Middle School has been serving North Beach and Chinatown families for nearly 100 years (since 1925). One fun fact is that Joe DiMaggio attended school here back in the day. Besides the marvelous book & graphic novel collection, the library plays host to all kinds of activities from music and video production to arts, crafts and hands-on projects of all kind.

Thank you to the librarian for making this project happen. My mother worked in libraries when I was a little kid, which made this a real pleasure to work on.

THE HISTORY CHANNEL

To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, I did a little project for The History Channel to tell one of my favorite stories about the GGB, and a man named Hap Jones. Check out this short I made with film maker Jeremy Mcnamara, and the only NFT I will probably ever create illustrating this wonderful piece of San Francisco History.

“Forever Ever After” is my 7th book, and is easily my favorite body of work so far in my career. This book contains all of the artwork I have created since my brain surgery in 2015. The introduction was written by my main man Aesop Rock and the forward by San Francisco Mayor London Breed

Mayor London Breed: “People like Jeremy Fish are why San Francisco is such a great city. When you talk about creativity and advocacy, he embodies the imagination and originality that spark it. He draws artists together. He draws communities together. His art instills pride and joy in everyone who experiences it. This is why it is so important he is moving forward with this book Forever Ever After.  In it, he shares the work of an artist in transition, living through personal challenges and the kinds of civic and global challenges that come around once in a generation.  And through it all, in true Jeremy Fish fashion, he’s created works of art now iconic to San Francisco, works made specifically to strengthen this City and reinforce the resiliency that allows creative hearts and minds to thrive. I know his art will inspire future generations of artists and continue to represent the best of San Francisco.”
