The chief Nychos (@nychos) and DXTR (@dxtrtheweird) of the Weird Crew drove down to sunny Los Angeles to escape the drear of San Francisco a few weeks ago. Being the industrious sorts, they arranged a couple of walls before getting here and wasted no time getting to painting. I got a chance to snap a few quick photos of the wall today, but, of course, a freakin’ truck had to be blocking most of the wall when I got there. Hopefully, my next visit is better. In the meantime, these will have to do.
Here’s a good interview from Juxtapoz with the white rabbit Nychos: An Interview and San Francisco Visit with Nychos

Street art is an obviously male-dominated culture. I must admit, even this very blog that you are reading right now is a testament of how few woman artists are a part of street/urban art based on the number of posts that mention a female artist. That fact alone makes Margaret Kilgallen stand out, but pair that with her talent and genuine passion for creating, she becomes a legend. Despite her passing too early, her bold, yet muted in color, figures she created in her work on the street and in the galleries still find relevance today.
YouTube recommended the video above to me today and I thought I should share.
