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?

I’ve noticed a bunch of new Rem stuff up on Flickr from various places round SF, dated from October. One possibility is that she does some big time throwing down on local walls during a stay up here, reestablishing her “turf”. (As far as I know, she’s still in LA and an established gallery artist there.) Especially as her graff fame as grown via internet and recent publications. The other possibility is that there’s a *really* good imitator out there.

Hoof tech looks identical, but the anatomy on the hips is a little cartoonish as did her earliest pieces - might be out of practice.
