Mission Mission

Clarion Alley Week continues at subSF, today’s post featuring everybody’s favorite mashup of retro videogaming and fairytale animal art. Link.

This just in: Forlorn Candy Corn has ventured out of the Mission and found new life in the form of some sort of symbiotic relationship with a forlorn mass of blue plywood. (Thanks again, mcas!)

Spotted in an alley off Valencia just north of 16th. Click to enlarge. Thanks, mcas!

This is probably one of the better pieces of art we’ve seen on the Valencia Street Art Wall in a long time: larger than life, whimsical, kind of unsettling.

Johnny0 at Burrito Justice did some legwork and determined that it’s the work of one Jesse Hazelip, a presumably local artist specializing in animal-weaponry mashups. Link.

What’s more, the artist has a blog on which there’s a very nice behind-the-scenes look at the installation of this very installation. See it here.

Sangroncito splits his time between the Mission and Brazil, and takes stunning photos of both places. This is the latest from the latter. How about something like this on the Dolores Park bathroom building?

This week saw a couple of new Bodé pieces along Valencia, but this one’s particularly good. Alarming, right?
