I'LL BE SHOWING OFF MY FINE LADIES TONIGHT AT SWIG!!!! Come check out Brandie, Aran, Erin, Debbie and Cielo for.... 'I LEARNED KARATE FROM THE STREETS' Curated by @mothbellygallery x @tenderloin.water.athletic.team At Swig Bar & Art Gallery @swiggallerysf 561 Geary St., SF Friday, October 9th 2026 5-9pm TWATS: Pretzelegant - @pretzelegant Jessie L Yadlowsky - @trash.bird.studio   Glenda Graves - @hornetbees Nicolas Edwards - @tendreloin Adi James Rudzinski - @rude_zen Chris Farris - @christfarris Misia Farris - @misia.soup Christopher Jernberg - @christopherjernbergart Hugh Leeman - @hughleeman Daryll Peirce - @daryllpeirce Party Pablo - @party_pablo Mark Nobriga - @marknobrida_art Akira Beard - @akirabread D Young V - @dyoungv For those of you surprisingly still unfamiliar with T.W.A.T. it stands for Tenderloin. Water. Athletic. Team. Originally named 'Renegade Swim Team' by its founder, 'The Navigator'; professional artist and university professor, Christopher Jernberg in 2002. The team's original purpose was to function as part of Christopher's educational process: training young art students to step outside the constraints of their own perceptions by tossing themselves into the cold bay water under the darkness of night. Since then the team's purpose and branding have undergone a few makeovers during its twenty four years of existence. By 2011 the team encompassed local professional artists primarily living and working in San Francisco's Tenderloin who were actively interested in bare back non competitive long distance swimming while taking advantage of the cold water therapy The Bay offered. It was during this time the team was rebranded as 'Tenderloin Competitive Swim Team' with their signature and unforgettable motto "first ones in, last ones out". It wasn't until 2022 that the team was officially rebranded as the 'Tenderloin Water Athletic Team' (T.W.A.T.) to better represent the unique (and questionable) personalities and backgrounds of its members: artists and locals mainly based in The Tenderloin and surrounding areas who shared an extremely casual approach to swimming and their own lives in general... Applications still OPEN!!!!

On Sundays we take time to reflect on all our blessings. It’s humbling to see when your heart is centered on supporting others, even with the limited resources we may have, somehow we’re provided the things we need. Community. That is our @methodmade.

#gratitudesunday it’s been a minute since we done one of these since we were prescribed a new social media playbook designed by @asapjashy (head of @methodmade marketing - like officially official - Jashy has a TMMDL email & everything). In between the spaces of designing new things, developing relationships with our community and spending time as a family (both with @queenmethods @youngmethodmakers as well as the partners we work with such as @13gallons & @krucialprinting that we also call family shout out to @dillon_stanley @sanjosesimpsons) we’re adding a line up of artist to the roster for TMMDL.com. Shout out to & be sure to follow @elmalditoarte @dimebagdarla @gon3r_ if you are not already. Just a few artist names we have things going on with for summer 2026 which will be revealed @westcoastcraft summer edition in June! Much love, -TMMDL
