Luxury Tax, as seen in Western Addition

recently Facebook teamed up with Spotify and held a launch party to celebrate the US arrival of Spotify. However, prior to the event, local graffiti artists, GOSR and SEMEL, were able to completely cover the building in what I must say is a fantastic piece of work.

Skinner’s “The Fragile Art of Existence” solo exhibition opens tonight at the Shooting Gallery. Skinner is a Sacramento-based, multi-media artist that has really developed a lot just since I started shooting some of his graffiti in the Bay Area.

Here’s a recent video where Skinner talks about this show, his changing worldview, and how its affecting his work

Recently seen at the Ever Gold Gallery exhibit “Ever Wash”. Stop by. Do a load of laundry.

Friday, July 16th, SF Electric Works, in S.o.M.a, held their gala for the Dave Eggers exhibition entitled: It is right to draw their fur. Incidentally, Eggers is the founder and editor of McSweeney’s, an independent publishing house. These are all done in China marker on paper.

Whether approved by him or not, he is most memorably known for his 2000 quasi-fictional memoir “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius”, where he recounts his experience of raising his little brother after the sudden death of their parents.

He is also the founder of the 826 Valencia literacy project.

The exhibit will run at the SF Electric Works 130 8th street gallery until August 14th.
