If you like paint on walls as much as I do, get over to Harrison and 8th immediately.

I caught a glimpse of this in the front window of the Factory 2 U store on Mission & 23rd.
Even though it was pouring rain and I was horribly hungover I had to stop and take a picture of what might be one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
Seriously though readers, who has a cute baby I can borrow for an afternoon and dress up as an old man from 1886? I can envision the calendar now; let's show Anne Geddes who's boss!

Aaron Durand recently spotted the brief return of famed late-90s graffiti artist Reminisce to the streets of San Francisco:
This was brand new, and it's been buffed over already. I don't think you can still find any of [the originals] around, we just got lucky she came back for a hot minute to put this here. (link)
For those who don't remember, Reminisce was a relatively popular street artist who covered the Mission, SOMA and other neighborhoods with her iconic sprays of horses (which can be viewed on the fantastic Transit graffiti repository). However, she quit the craft in the late 90s and moved to LA (boo! hiss!) where she does sculptures and other more socially appropriate things. Looks like she's making some sort of comeback?

Not sure what this lone guy was trying to accomplish, but I watched him walk his leashed 2-dimensional puppy from 18th up to the top of the park, loop back down the hill, sit down to have a cigarette atop of Tallboy Terrace and then take off. Then I quickly realized I just spent the last 5 minutes watching some burner walk his art project around a park…

I've seen a few mattresses with a friendly warning dumped on the sidewalk over the past month (the one above is from Potrero Ave.) and media outlets from Tenderblog to CNN claim the city is infested. Have bedbugs finally made their way from the TL to the Mission? Also, we to take a cue from NYC and get more creative with our mattresses with benefits?

This is gold: Banksy's iconic rat standing on two legs and painting has just been parodied somewhere in San Francisco. While I have no idea what the raccoon is painting (maybe that's the point?), I used to feed a neighborhood raccoon one summer when I was 11 or 12, so, clearly, I'm a fan of this piece.

If just last week you had told me I'd be seeing some skateboard industry dirtbag rocking a PETA hoodie at a competition at Potrero del Sol, I would have laughed at you and bet you I'd start eating meat again if the sight was seen. Well, what the fuck, four dancing bunnies spotted within feet of Potrero's bowl. Does this mean it's cool to wear your veganism on for back or is PETA the apex of hooded irony?
