I know this postage stamp is hard to make out, but RumNose just stitched together this epic panorama of Heron Alley. You won't regret the 9mb pageload for the full version.

OUT SIDE ART Block Party Promises to "Finish" The Banksy "Mural"
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
Today Uptown Almanac is partnering with the Make a Wish Foundation to make Blah's wish come true:
Chris Orr was asking me to post about this on his radio show last week. At the time, I figured I'd wait until the week of the event to post it up, but I don't want to disappoint our audience.
You can find out more about the event on its facebook page (warning: facebook just redesigned their event page and it looks awful and just reading it makes my eyes bleed). There will be a bunch of DJs and people “finishing” the mural that Banksy “started.” As reader Milu noticed, local artist Chor Boogie already started:
See y'all there!

New mural going up at 8th and Bryant, SF. looks amazing! Hope they update the Fanny's logo too.I didn't see who the artist is painting the mural, but it does seem like the art is from Dean Fraser - Springfield Punx. http://springfieldpunx.blogspot.com/

If you spend more than 2 seconds looking at this, you'll realize why this is one of the raddest cycling stencils in the city. Petals for hands! A watering can! A flag I can't read! Neat!

* A quick google on the flickrnets indicates that this Fillmore piece in the Lower Haight is at least a year old, but it's new to me.

I didn't lug my camera around the city this weekend, so we're going to have to borrow from the flickrnets.

Apparently the CRYPTIK MOVEMENT was busy hitting SF (pictured below) and Oakland (not pictured):
Finally, I'm sure this Where's Waldo stencil is hella old, but it's new to me:

Golden Gate Bike

Meli over at Bikes and The City recently checked out the TechnoCRAFT exhibit at the YBCA and stumbled upon these epic Cyclecide rides. Needless to say, the Golden Gate Bike is, hands down, the best bike I've ever seen.

And She Put My Heart in a Wood Chipper
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
In case you missed it, a hot mess of wood chip art popped up all over the city this morning. Thanks to my laziness, I only photographed this heart in front of Sidewalk Juice on 21st, but you could traverse the length of Valencia, you might be able to catch some more yourself.
