If you’ve spent any time in the Mission lately, you’ll have noticed these babies with microchips and gumballs for brains [1] wheatpasted up all over the place. Well, they’re by London-based street artist Paul Insect [2] and he’s got a three-week show opening tonight at FIFTY24SF, 7:00 PM [3]. [via Juxtapoz [4]]
Also, in other art-plus-booze news, tonight is the monthly Gallery Crawl downtown [5], AKA First Thursdays. A whole bunch of galleries open their doors to the public from 5:30 to 7:30, though 49 Geary [6] is most famous for the event, and it’s where you’ll probably want to start. Quoth Yelper Jill S. [7]: “First Thursday is a fun time to go check this place out. Go early to avoid the drunk girls over-imbibing on all the free wine. [8]” I don’t know, might be bad advice for some… [thanks, SFist [9]!]
