Ok, so we “know” there are no Brown Recluses in California, but shit, it looked like one to us… Found in the folk’s house in Marin on the bathroom floor on Saturday. Argh.

Whole Foods Rips Off Corey Arnold?

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:34:39 -0400

Tucker Nichols emailed over this Whole Foods poster (below right) which looks a lot like one of Corey Arnold’sphotos (bottom left). Coincidence? Where they inspired by Corey’s photo? Did Corey actually shoot the photo? Who knows and Corey is fishing for salmon right now (like this), so we can’t ask him to find out.

Wait, on this Instagram, Corey Arnold writes “Ripped off!”, so we guess that’s your answer.

Whole Foods highly inspired by a Corey Arnold photo. Ripped off?

Yeah, bad tattoos are basically a bummer, right? But they’re also pretty much a rite of passage for bored and disenfranchised-feeling teenagers the world over. At least it was for about 95% of the people I know. Going to a reputable tattoo shop and getting a wizard or unicorn drilled into your lower back is totally fine, but nothing really takes the place of sitting around with a bunch of friends and some beers, enthusiastically taking turns poking each others’ arms full of bad ideas-which actually is fun at any age.

Wendell McShine (lives in Mexico City, from Trinidad) opened his newest show, Raccoon’s Law, at Fifty24SF on Saturday night.ARYZ was a tough act to follow, but McShine held his own in the space.

With a combination of a mural, a video, and both drawings and mixed-media works on paper, the diversity of this solo show was impressive. The Raccoon drawings were especially attractive as the way he executed them looked like they actually had fur coming off the page, and you can only imagine how soft it would be to touch. I was lucky to see his work in person through this show, and I hope to encounter more in the future.

Banksy Sells For 1.1 M

Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:26:57 -0400

Wonder if our old emails with Banksy are worth a few thousand dollars. It seems everything the dude touches is worth a million dollars these days! Nutty and much deserved.

A disputed Banksy graffiti artwork removed from a gritty London neighbourhood has sold for approximately $1.1 million US at auction. The provocative Slave Labour (Bunting Boy) sold at a private auction held by concierge firm The Sincura Group at the London Film Museum on Sunday, according to Bloomberg news service. The spray-painted, stenciled work depicts a child labourer using an antique sewing machine to create a Union Jack bunting.

Rachel Ralph spotted Barcelona-based ARYZ working on his mural in the TL a couple weeks back, and we forgot to share the pics. His show at Fifty24SF opened back in April.

Looks amazing, but what’s the deal with the mural’s metamorphosis? In the beginning phases she’s holding a small figure in her hands, and with the mural’s completion, she’s holding an apple?… The completed mural is a women holding some fruit? Was the subject matter of her holding a man too edgy and had to be tamed? Was the original intent to be an apple all along? Notice her right hand changes angles to adjust for the apple? So many questions and so little interest.

That massive thing is 5 stories tall and located at the corner of Polk Street and Eddy Street. Look up next time in the Tenderloin, but watch out for the human shit at foot level.
