Valencia St. Murals Getting Tagged Over
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
Obviously tagging over murals in the Mission is nothing new, but I was a tad surprised to see how many of them have been hit recently. Feel like there's enough shitty buildings in the Mission to hit opposed some murals dudes piss on in the middle of their bar crawl.

And, you know, for shits and giggles, here's some other RAD STREET ART.
Found it Oakland by Thaddeus Mach.
Also, I stumbled (literally) across this one last night on Valencia. Hope you love the shitty cameraphone pic!

Mexican Skeletons on Valencia Sidewalks
— By Brizz |
Maybe these are old news, but I just noticed them this afternoon while walking the gigantic sidewalks of Valencia. I've been busy taking photos of the sidewalks around 6th and Market, which are just as beautifully adorned with shards of crackpipe glass and flattened cans of Steel Reserve.
ANOTHER BADASS MOVIE AT THE ROXIE: Dirty Hands: The David Choe Feature Film
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
My friend emailed me and suggested I check out this movie. Being the great friend I am, I jumped the gun with “WHATEVER TRICK YOUR TASTE IN MOVIES SUCKS.” Turns out I was wrong. This movie does look badass and it's playing at the Roxie through Thursday.

2Pac R.I.P. 4EVA

Sometimes art cars just come straight from your patriotic-ass, peace-makin', Clinton-supportin', dog-lovin', old-school thug-ass heart, and it doesn't matter that you've only got four colors of paint. Why? Because you love America, and Tupac rules. (via carinabot)
Zoltron + Neo Monster Battle Corporate Ad Whores on Valencia
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
Remember how sad we all were when some dumb marketing douches pasted over all of Zoltron's stuff on a “condoned” art wall on Valencia (between 16th and 17th)? Well:
Doesn't this look so much better than Robin Hood ads? No? Well, fuck you. Since street artists have been given the go ahead to make this wall an orgy of awesome, go forth and draw funny faces on Russell Crowe.

Cool Kid Travels: Cambridge Art Wall
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
I had some time to kill between listening to hipsters talk about sports bras and chugging pints of Magic Hat Circus Boy so I did one of my favorite Boston activities: walking the length of Mass Ave. Back when I did it, it usually was usually to avoid paying a $1.25 subway fare (earning $7,500 a year didn't go very far, even with $160/month rent) and not photograph graffiti but hey, what the hell.
The last time I was in Central Square was three years ago and this art wall was nothing like it was today. Meaning, it didn't fucking rule.
This last one was a new Banksy from around the corner that went up during the week. Unlike SF, people in Boston either don't know who Banksy is or don't give a shit. The piece of Valencia was photographed to death and for over a week, you couldn't walk past Amnesia without seeing someone gawking. I was near this thing for a little while and didn't see a single other person glance at it.
