Last Spring, I spent the night in the Dave Kinsey room at the Hotel des Arts in SF. Besides the dump trucks outside ALL night, it was a great little room. Really impressive, actually. Dave Kinsey's work has a dark edge that I always really appreciate so I was really excited we got his room (art dork, nerd alert.) The Shop at Lazarides recently released Kinsey's print Unrested. True to form it's a perfect blend of Kinsey's style and technique (street/gallery) and blended perfectly. It would look perfect in my home, where it can spend the night forever.

Banksy on Valencia..
I just rolled out of bed, grabbed some coffee, a ham & cheese croissant from Tartine and shot some pics of this piece by Banksy. Which quite literally appeared on Valencia street yesterday morning. Since Bansky's film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, came out there has been a lot of dissention and haterade around the elusive street artist. And it's hard to not wonder if this was actually Banksy that did this or part of his team. Regardless, I have serious respect for Banksy and all that he does. His commentary never ceases to make me giggle and think long and hard about the art world. He's become the Warhol of my generation and I can't wait to see what he does next. If you haven't seen Exit Through The Gift Shop, I highly recommend it. Simply put it is, in essence, piece of Banksy's art.

nature freak matt furie..
while i was at 49 geary, i also stopped by the jack fischer gallery to say hello to jack and check out the matt furie show, nature freak. matt's drawings are always full of amazing detail and color. as usual there was a lot of naughtiness going on in his work. robots and tree ladies havin' a blast, birdies and rainbows co-mingling. it's enough to get a girl to blush, whilst still stealing glances! i love how his brain works. it was nice to get in to see the show before it closed. you can check out the full show on the jack fischer gallery.
p.s. the image below isn't in the show, but it is one of the first pieces i ever saw of matt's...and i just love it. just look at how happy that lil guy is!

Maya Hayuk..
With all this rain in SF (I know east coast friends, I have no right to complain) but damn I need some sunshine and color. So I thought what better way to get some quick color was to post Maya Hayuk's newer work she recently uploaded to her website. Just looking at her work I feel like I get a zap of vitamin D. Speaking of sunshine, be sure to check out Rye Rye's video Sunshine to see the below mural was comminssioned for.
Oh and Maya just joined twitter, so that's exciting!
