EINE: BRIGHTER FASTER, FINISHED

Tweeted earlier by Ben Eine, his latest San Francisco piece, "Brighter Faster," is complete. Stunner.

Eine expressing his feelings on Twitter about his latest monster:

Update: Added pieces from the exhibition at White Walls, San Francisco, opening tonight .  Most are already sold and going fast. Via White Walls

EINE'S TYPOGRAPHY DOCUMENTED

Nice little short doc about Ben Eine, street typist extraordinaire. He also has a painting hanging in the White House (gifted to President Obama last year by Prime Minister Cameron's Wife).

His latest exhibition opens tomorrow (March 12) in San Francisco at White Walls.  Get there! Enjoy your weekend. 



Here's video and photos of Eine's latest colossal pieces popping up in San Francisco.

BANKSY TAKES ANOTHER BITE OUT OF THE BIG APPLE

Banksy's tagging spree makes its way back to NYC, a familiar playground for Mr.Banksy. So it's no surprise that he brought his best work since he started this cross-country North America tag-a-thon. His 'heart doctor' makes a reappearance, first appearing in SF. As long as there are walls, I'm sure Banksy will find a way to cover them all. His ability to capture the mood of society with brutal honesty and irreverence seems endless and brilliant wherever he goes.

Pick a winner, kid.

The placard piece pretty much sums up the morale of corporate America, no?

 The return of the glorious and timeless Banksy smiley face

Banksy, the most beloved cynic since Diogenes. Fitting. (I don't claim to have known who Diogenes was, I just use Wikipedia).

San Francisco Reprise.

Bonus Shots: A selection from his cross-country graffiti tour. When will it end? Hopefully never.

Previous four all spotted in Detroit.

Another classic in Boston

 Banksy heads north to Toronto.

Banksy hit Chicago. Only a couple for now. Come back anytime with an arsenal if you'd like.
That's all for now. Here's hoping he stays in the States for a while and keeps on tagging along. Would like to see him start showing up in metro areas like Atlanta, Milwaukee, Dallas, heck, why not Arizona? I'm sure he'd have a lot to say there.

BIZARRE ART: SAN FRANCISCO TOOTHPICK SCULPTURE

What can you do with 100,000 toothpicks, 3,000 hours of construction over 35 years? For one Bay area native, it was erecting this colossal rendition of San Francisco. Righteous.
