KYEO: Skullphone in Santa Monica / Digital Media @ Subliminal Projects

Spotted at Olympic & Lincoln, outside Company 3. First Skullphone piece I’ve seen in a while. Apparently his new show Digital Media has been running at Subliminal Projects and is wrapping up July 2nd. Watch the vid below.

Dots are big part of his latest wave of work, “Through painted pointillism, the imagery dislocates as the artwork is approached.”

Check out Skullphone‘s Digital Media show by Friday at Subliminal Projects in Echo Park. Or snag some prints in the online store.

KYEO: Stenciled Boy in Dogpatch

Something about how far this boy has to look for a patch of chain-link covered sky grabbed me and said, “snap a pic with your crappy iPhone camera, will ya?” So here it is.

If you’re in Dogpatch it’s at the foot of the old Fire Station 16 on Tennessee (between 20th & 21st).

SF: Homeless Man Breaks Fourth Wall of iPad Ad (in Ladies Loafers)

They were lined up perfectly. Like, “you complete me” perfectly. Half man. Half Apple ad. A creature out of Greek marketing mythology. If only my crappy iPhone camera captured it more clearly. And that’s the smallest irony of this picture.

Spotted on Market Street, SF.

Graf: Banksy hits San Francisco(?)!

SFist dropped the bomb that two Banksy pieces have been spotted around San Francisco. More pics and info on where they’re at over at Spots Unknown.

He must be in town promoting his doc, Exit Through The Gift Shop:

KYEO: Chicken Stoop & Norman Greenbaum’s Petaluma For The Soul

Keep Your Eyes (and Ears) Open. Never know what you’ll see.

Spotted this chicken-filled stoop while cruisin’ around Petaluma. Coincidentally, just a block away from the ol’ Must-Hatch Incubator Co. building. Did you know the egg incubator was invented here? It’s one of the reasons we were known as The World’s Egg Basket. (And you thought we only invented the world sport of Wrist-Wrestling).

“Got chickens in the houses. We got chickens in the trees. Chickens in the pots of all the Petalumees …

Wheatpaste Close Up

Spotted these wheatpaste pieces on Market this morning. DigiDave says they’ve been poppin’ up around town. Is it just a random dude in a Yankees hat? Or is it bizarro Hank?

UPDATE:

The artist is San Francisco’s Hugh Leeman.

Spotted: Giant Pizza Slice In Pinky’s Phone Booth

Pizza Costume Guy In Pinky's Pizza Phone Booth

My bus stop is right by my favorite phone booth in all of Petaluma. Not because I ever use it, or even touch it. I just like that it actually exists. And it’s pink. Today, it was even better. Thanks to this Real California Cheese Pizza Guy flashin’ signs.

Blurred in the background—the famous neon sign that proudly proclaims, “This ain’t no limp crust sissy-boy pizza.” It sure isn’t. Homeslice will kick your ass if you don’t give him a quarter. Are calls still a quarter?
