Eddie x The New York Times

A while back I got interviewed for a piece in the New York Times. It made my mom proud.

Some Love from Mayka….

Mayka did a nice write up on Maykazine. http://themaykazine.com

…judging by her photo clearly we are kindred spirits.

… I’m talkin to you boy

Did some photos of my buddy and Dj TerboTed this morning. Good shit. Good guy. Back to work on the remaining pieces for Baxter and Cook.

AIR CITY

We threw this up last week in Hayes Valley. It’s fairly large 8ft X 16ft. There’s really no quick way to do this, so the best bet is to just simply act like you’re suppose to be there. I used to hit this wall quite a bit, but lately it had been taken over by illegal advertising. Posters of the latest dumb ass romantic comedy or Sting’s new album available at Starbucks, shit like that. So I decided to take it back. Everything is cool until the guy who owns the lot rolls up. This is generally the ultimate bull shitting challenge. Convince the guy who owns the property that you are ACTUALLY suppose to be there and there was just some miscommunication. It can be done. This particular guy however hated the illegal ads as much as us. So with his blessing we proceeded to finish. Working under permission can be quite liberating. Additionally I got to chat with the owner of Blue bottle coffee, who is apparently a fan. Which is nice because I too am a fan of his coffee.
All and all good day in Hayes Valley.

The Art of Speed

There are many criteria in which art can be judged. Color, composition, texture, content, flow, proportions etc. Street Art has an additional and crucial component, speed. When all goes well you can sneak a 10 ft chinese girl on a bike past caltrans and commuters in an efficient 6 minutes.

Studio

When I first got this studio, I thought it was huge. It’s odd how people fill whatever space they occupy. It seems rather snug at this point.
I spent the last 2 days trying to break up the plane on the bike girl piece, in a way that makes sense. We’ll see…

Juxtapoz

I got a little blurb on Juxtapoz today, a magazine I actually read. With some kind words from Ken Harman.
