Last night was another night of Eine moving about in the city, leaving more letters behind. We’ll be posting photos here and you can follow the continuing progress through even more photos posted on the White Wall’s flickr.
With thanks to Wallspace and Montana Paint!
The team here at White Walls is happy to announce that Eine is now officially stateside, and already hard at work on an ambitious project out in the San Francisco streets. Thanks to a generous amount of supplies from Montana Paint, and more than 25 outdoor walls secured by Wall Space, he’s busy working his way through the entire alphabet – letter by letter, all over the city. We snapped some photos late last night while the work was in progress, and will continue to update the blog as the project continues.
Keep an eye out for work as it appears, SF! More images after the jump.
Moneyless has been busy exploring every corner of San Francisco and the East Bay while he’s in town, and continues to find interesting places for his work. The photos we saw today were some of the most stunning yet – a flying piece that frames the Golden Gate Bridge. Click the link below to see more @ Moneyless’ blog.

Hugh Leeman Profile, by: Jonathan Curiel
“I’ve found throughout my life that some of the poorest people I’ve met are quite frankly the most generous people I’ve met,” says Leeman, who lives in the Tenderloin, where he meets many of his subjects. “There is something altruistic that I’m doing, in giving back to the community and helping people, but I’m definitely getting something out of it, including their friendship.”
Increasingly, Leeman’s work is appearing in galleries and other art spaces, as at the Artbox Gallery in Indiana (he grew up in the state). Still, street art remains his central passion. Lately, he has been putting matrix bar codes on his street posters, which lets people with smartphones connect to a website that funds the T-shirt project. (For two years, Leeman paid for the program himself.) Last month, attorneys representing the DreamWorks movie studio asked Leeman’s permission to include his street posters in a scene of a Meryl Streep movie that was being filmed in Los Angeles. Leeman has never visited L.A. Someone had downloaded the free poster images from Leeman’s website, printed them, and put them up on Melrose Avenue. “It was cool,” says Leeman, who declines to give his age or have his face seen in public photographs. But he will say he has never been formally trained in art, graduating only from high school: “You sit at home and you’re designing your web site, and you think, ‘Who the hell is going to care?’ Well, somebody did.”
The event is tonight at Public Works in SF, 161 Erie Street, 7-10pm wednesday the 16th, with after party.
