This is an empty lot that was taken over (with permission) by Few and Far. Few and Far is a woman’s street art group and this is what they say about themselves on their blog:
Few and Far is a movement that brings together talented women who are involved in graffiti, Skateboarding and street art from all over the world. Few and Far connects women by creating social and artistic exchange, by showcasing art on the streets, on walls and in other high profile venues. Few and Far fosters and celebrates the power and expression of female street artists. Importantly, Few and Far consists of a team of open minded, highly creative, cutting edge and dedicated every day females. We seek to expand this movement with the involvement more around the globe, and hope to highlight their commitment to their craft. Also Building life long friendships.
The group is made up of a quite a number of women.
Lady Mags is from Oakland.
Hops is from Seattle. (From Few and Far’s Blog) Few & Far’s Hops is such a dope person on many levels. She is very motived, fast and clean painting, often finished before any of us have our final outlines up. She paints anything she gets her hands on!
Dime is from Oakland.
Wow! What an exciting group! I love Lady Mags’ mural.
They do have a female flavour to them!
what a very cool mural and neat organization. i hope to be able to see their work someday.
Let’s hear it for woman graffiti artists. Now I know to keep my out for Mags and Dime here in Oaktown. I noticed Dime wrote “Oakland” into her piece. Local Love. Her mural almost seems like a fairy tale what with the humming bird nesting in the girl’s hair. In the darker vein of the original Grimm tales, of course. I’m glad you knew their names, otherwise I never would have deciphered them. Sigh. Thanks, Principessa, for contributing to Monday Mural.
A nice selection of murals. I really like the second one with the birds and flowers. 🙂
Few and Far, such a great name for a woman’s street art group. I learn so much through blogs.
Few and Far did a large set of murals in Oakland last summer at 25th and Mandela. Went back to visit them a few months ago to find out that they had been white washed away. I wish good street art wasn’t so temporary.
Maybe I’m just ignorant but, actually, I haven’t seen women involved in graffiti here. That’s cool!
Nice to see these ladies getting recognized for their artwork.
