Upper Playground set up shop at this year’s Outside Lands ready to join in the fun:

Out in the Polo Field, Sam Flores and N8 Vandyke worked on their annual mural at Outside Lands, organized by Juxtapoz Magazine:

The artist states:

“SNOWMAN MONKEY BBQ is my first art exhibition in almost 4 years. why haven’t i shown in so long? I been percolatin’ i was busy destroying myself like any decent artist. 4 years of falling deep into addiction, heartbreak, rejoicing , discovery , recovery , hallucinogenics, worship and ignorant idiotic prophecies manifest and explode into a strange reality that I myself can’t comprehend, it will encompass murals, sculptures , watercolors , oil, mixed media and if you’re lucky and I’m fucked off this mezcal , maybe some performance art too! It is an honor to display my work in one of my most favorite places in the world , Mexico City! (I’m eating a sweetbread taco and typing this with one hand right now) at the Museo Universitario del Chopo http://www.chopo.unam.mx/exposiciones/davidchoe.html if you’re in town saturday , august 17th come check it out . I’ll make it worth your while.”
