Some folks have already expressed amazement that I could post so much on this stuff. Sorry, but it's not everyday that a variety of artists you find inspiring visit your city... even your neighborhood. The South Park piece that Shepard Fairey is working on is just a couple blocks away from our place. So, we've been walking over each day to take a look at the progression after I get off work. Paige has an Obey print that she loves, so Brooke asked if she could take a picture with him. He talked to us about his own kids and was just generally laid back and generous. Can't wait to see the piece finished.

The family and I went out to scope out some of the street art going up around San Diego. We found some of the pieces on Invader's "space invader walk" throughout the metro area. We also saw the Shepard Fairey piece in Hillcrest just as it was finished and got to talk with the crew briefly. Along with those, we saw pieces by Os Gemeos, Barry McGee and what appears to be Banksy. One of the best parts was just chatting with fellow fans, swapping stories of other pieces seen around town, and the the scavenger hunt-like experience of trying to find them.

Set & Drift and Mike Maxwell have been documenting what's going up around town.

If you get a chance, go on the invader walk and enjoy art created for the masses.

I mentioned a couple days ago that I was excited to see the upcoming show at MCASD Downtown with renowned street artists such as Shepard Fairey, Banksy and Swoon among others. Today, as I was driving down 5th Ave. between University and Washington, I saw this going up on the south side of Urban Outfitters. So, I snapped a couple pics with my phone. Pretty cool piece by Shepard Fairey.
