During the course of its seven-year adventure on the Web, Fecal Face has gone from covering the local art scene to ruling it. The site has an effortless be-here-now coolness, jammed with unpretentious content, struggling-artist resources, and endless photos of both local art and those impossible Mission art kids. Founder John Trippe and company have a clear love for the lowbrow, urban, graffiti-influenced aesthetic, especially when skateboarders are involved, but anything smart and good gets fair play. It's easy to get lost on the site, but that's part of the fun. One moment you're looking at Trippe's birthday photos, then you're off visiting the studio of local legend Bigfoot or skateboard graphics pioneer Jim Phillips. Later you might find yourself immersed in Mike Giant's "Count Trackula" blog or reading interviews with local stars such as Porous Walker, Jay Howell, and Paul Urich — or even passing-through celebs like the hotshot band Matt & Kim or actor/skateboarder Jason Lee. Forgive the tautology, but Fecal is the shit.
