Latest interview with Upper Playground artist David Choe on Bloomberg TV :
Throughout history and in fables and pop culture, every underdog has possessed a vital asset that led to success: passion. The same can be said about art and apparel brand Zerofriends. Originally a small group of imaginative artists who shared a desire to create obscure, unique, and borderline demented artwork, Zerofriends has grown into a collective whose work has gained worldwide recognition. This is due in part to the artists’ uncompromising approach to their work and the DIY operation of the business that has sprouted from the passion of the artists involved. This book showcases the artists and illustrators who have played a major role in establishing the Zerofriends brand as one of the most unique and inspiring collections in the industry. Featured artists include Alex Pardee, Tara McPherson, Greg “Craola” Simkins, Skinner, Dave Correia, Robert Bowen, Jon Wayshak, Jason Edmiston, and others.

Mexican muralist and artist Jesús Benítez, known previously as ‘Dhear’ made his way to San Francisco this month and has been focused on the preparations for his solo show, ‘Thesis’ at Fifty24SF Gallery. Set to open this Friday, July 11th, 7pm, the show marks his first North American solo show after several duos with Smithe One. Despite recurring health difficulties and challenges, Jesús has been steadily working his beat and maintaining his presence in the world of street art and muralists. His latest mural, gargantuan in size covered a giant facade of a public Hospital in Mexico and took him about a month to complete. The ambitious project won him over many more admirers of his work and put a stamp on his talent as one of the up and coming visionary muralists of his generation.
He’s currently working on a distinct mural inside the Fifty24SF Gallery for the show and we are covering his progress as he works:
