Very reminiscent of skateboardanimation, and also very cool. Almost as interesting? The making of video. Still more at Cleptomanicx. – Thanks to… I’ve misplaced the email with the tip, Help!

Friday T&A on S&A: Mike Giant Confesses

Thes are a few images from graffiti artist/illustrator Mike Giant‘s solo show at Fecalface Gallery in San Francisco opens Friday, July 20th, from 7–10 pm.

Imagine that they are tangible
