In honor of  what would have been legendary SF Chinatown resident Bruce Lee’s 72nd birthday, Upper Playground, the SF Heritage Preservation Society, and Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory have teamed up for a very limited Fortune Cookie release. Made in Chinatown, San Francisco at the legendary secret fortune cookie factory, the specially released cookies feature never before seen all new limited edition prophecies inside and the opportunity to win a FREE tee shirt if you find the golden ticket. Each pack contains 10 fortune cookies.

Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory is the oldest of its kind in San Francisco and world-renowned for its secret recipe fortune cookies. Family operated since 1962, GGFC is hidden in the famed alleyway of San Francisco, Ross Alley, in historic Chinatown. Born in San Francisco during the late 1800’s, GGFC handmakes their cookies fresh daily.

A little sneak peek from Sam Flores’ upcoming Lion and the Lamb exhibition at FIFTY24SF Gallery, opening 12/12/12.

As you know, we have been working with SF-graffiti giant MQ for years, including our new Sticker Zine series. ArtPrimo just released this video of MQ bombing SF with some friends… a good Sunday night viewing.

The holiday season means new gaming equipment is a must and Upper Playground have teamed up once again with fellow SF-based company, ASTRO Gaming, creators of premium video gaming equipment for professional gamers, to release three Artist Series Speaker Tags for the A40 Audio System. Upper Playground and ASTRO Gaming launched three different Speaker Tag sets featuring the work of Sam Flores and the classic Upper Playground logo (seen here).

As you probably know by now, David Choe is kind of famous. That is sort of fun for us, because we remember the Baskin Robbins’ days. We are very excited today to announce a David Choe x Upper Playground special open-edition print release, featuring 4 classic Choe works. “Bangs“, “Choebot“, “Soulscraper“, and “Swamp Virus.”

Each print is 18″ x 24″, open edition, and $9.95.

Here is how David Choe describes it:

“I realize my art has gotten quite unaffordable over the years, and those not in the print game, don’t have the time to hunt down limited editon rare hard to find whatevers, I will now have something for you! I appreciate all the love and support from all of you who care about me and my work over the years that have afforded me the luxury to create whatever I want without HAVING to suck dick in dark alleyways, now me WANTING to do that, is a whole other story. I will be making posters and prints that are open edition and affordable for all my non-billionaire friends.”
