Rainbow Buffalo

This appeared on what used to be a Ritz Photo shop. It is somewhat reminiscent of Banksy (who I should write more about and will soon). Although the image is layered and politically interesting, I think that Banksy manages to capture essence of intent with less ambiguity. Banksy is a British street artist who I equate to the Beatles; all of their work is so simple and so perfect it leaves the world stunned that it's never been done before. This artist is taking on a lot in one graphic (the American Bison, the crippled military? the tie dye...) are they saying that the American military is defunct, or that the hippies are? It's intreguing... and at the very lowest explination "cool", but I'm not really sure of what's going on.

I'm seeing spots...

Street art in the Mission District;

Paper and Brick

Street art in San Francisco's Mission district;

Building on Building

In the Castro district is a fantasy world that has surfaced on the side of this old San Francisco Building...

It is a city of chaos, inhabited by buildings of all sizes and animations... of elephants,

and birds...

... someday it may break free of this wall and reach out into the sky...

The Grafitti Goddess

Shepard Fairey and Punk Rock...

You've probably seen his work...


Shephard Fairey is currently one of the most successful street artists of this age. Most recently his portrait of now President Obama was acquired by the national Portrait Gallery. His "Obey" stickers and stencils are widely distributed across the country...
Here's an interview for some Sunday viewing enjoyment.
