The Citrus Report did a great interview with Mike, a fun excerpt: The greatest way graffiti has changed my life is the ever-present knowledge that whatever the visual landscape is, it has the potential to be artfully altered. Like if the intersection of Haight and Ashbury is important to me because of what it represented culturally, then I can make sure there is always a visual reminder of me around.
According to StudioVisit: Michael Kershnar is a 32-year old artist from California. His background in urban skateboarding and wilderness survival has given him a lifestyle that is in constant motion
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! 😉
Just kidding. Sort of. That first one appears a bit fierce. But the man is certainly talented! Thanks for sharing!
They are wonderful! I am off to check out his site.
Wow — they are powerful images! I love the colors he uses. Will check out his website.
Quite a collage of street art. Interesting how some of these windows are painted over. Not sure if they can look out or if the building is occupied.
Thanks for sharing the link to Michael’s web page. His work is really amazing.
His street pieces are pretty terrific too.
