Christopher Murphy's paintings are pretty insane, look at the detail, the graf, the buildings. He's got the steady hand, the diligence, and more to make big works. I like that water tower on the right side. He also does rough drawings of people on the street. This dude is young, and I was joking around that from now until he dies, he'll use a wider and wider brush. The painting below is amazing as...
Christopher Murphy’s paintings are pretty insane, look at the detail, the graf, the buildings. He’s got the steady hand, the diligence, and more to make big works. I like that water tower on the right side. He also does rough drawings of people on the street. This dude is young, and I was joking around that from now until he dies, he’ll use a wider and wider brush. The painting below is amazing as well. Check him out at the Lora Schlesinger Gallery which was open as part of the Bergamont Station The outside looks like this. There’s tables with drinks and some snacks. The crowd is 35+. From wheat pasting to now in galleries with her art ranging from $800-$3000. David Choe and Becca had a short lived war on the streets. I think Dave won, but Becca held her own, and had the help of the locals in downtown. Gary Taxali is part of the Blab! show as is Andy Kehoe below. The photos I took aren’t the best, it’s all from my iPhone. The entire Bergamont Station “thing” is cool. It happens once a month, and attracts a big crowd. Parking is now tough there, so get there early. It’s free and great to see people having a blast checking out art.

Guess what? It's guava season. See the haul? What I do is walk down the street and around the corner, and look on the ground, there's guavas, down the street the other way, there's two more homes and the trees shed fruit that sprawls on the sidewalk. People walk on them, bikes ride on them, and birds pick at them. I scored today. You're seeing the product of three different front yard's fruit. I...
Guess what? It’s guava season. See the haul? What I do is walk down the street and around the corner, and look on the ground, there’s guavas, down the street the other way, there’s two more homes and the trees shed fruit that sprawls on the sidewalk. People walk on them, bikes ride on them, and birds pick at them. I scored today. You’re seeing the product of three different front yard’s fruit. I don’t pick them from the trees at all, since that would be fucked up of me, but if they’re on the ground, it’s fair game. Notice how some have stripes and some are smooth. It’s weird how some trees give up bigger fruit, some more round, and some look like tops. I’m sure it’s probably the same breed of tree, but each acts differently. If you’re into guavas, then this is the time to hunt some down. Eat just the middles! Some guavas are red in the middle, but these stay light. This one organization does some mapping of fruit trees.

Cyclops chalkware banks. I found the dude cyclops at a flea market for $4. It's amazing, isn't it? That little patch of chest hair that's blue like his hair, the Barney Rubble Club, four toes... He's amazing by himself. But imagine, he has a woman! She came in the mail today and she's bigger than him! She's a bit rougher and holding a club. Could there be a little version, like a kid? Would that...
