SOMA’s Latest Mural
I saw the artist painting this on the alley wall of Club Six this past week or so. Cool. And his work looks really familiar. I’m blanking though. So, I’m bummed I didn’t stop at the time to chat him up, since now I can’t give him the proper shout-out he deserves. Anyone know? (FYI: The text on the scroll in the upper lefthand corner reads: “Sometimes life brings us surprises, happiness and sadness…But. Everything has meaning. Never give up. – Yohei”) And yup, I did a quick Google for ‘Yohei’, but no love. Doh. There are several great murals in the alleys on 6th St. b/t Market and Howard. Check’em out.
His name is Yohei – he just had a show at Kid Robot

anyone know how do artists get the okay to paint on one of those walls?
u know it’s inspired by hokusai right? http://www.google.com/search?q=hokusai&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial
uh huh. Didn’t know who the artist was, but that Japanese wave image is a classic.
