As the economy struggles and billboards turn to blight, it seems no one is responsible, or liable. Thanks for the brave whom create in this decay.

Microsoft Spraying Into the Night
Sketching Letters
A team of 5 from Microsoft came to the gallery on the evening of October 26, stoked to learn about graffiti art. Curious and inquisitive, they asked some wonderful questions during the history of graffiti session. Following the history lesson, they then got to see some murals firsthand, and attempted to decipher some funky fresh wild style lettering.
After learning about graffiti art, it was time for them to try their hand at sketching letters and spraying. The Microsoft crew had a playful attitude and they executed their pieces with finesse and fun.
Thanks for having a workshop with us Microsoft! You were a fantastic group and you made our jobs so easy and enjoyable, ^_^. Come back anytime! Click here for more photos from the Microsoft workshop!

Gettin’ Splunk-ed!
Picture it: October 12, 2011. It was a hot and sunny afternoon, and there was a team of 21 from Splunk, Inc., geared up and ready for a Graffiti workshop.
But before they could start spraying, they took a history lesson or two from local graff legend Nate1. After that, the whole Splunk team scoped out the local murals around SoMa and then the spray paint fun began!
There was stenciling tees, there was spray practice, and of course, the painting of the mural. With spray cans in hand, the Splunk team painted a piece that was definitely “greater than”, ^_^.
A big thanks to Christina N. and Jeff I. from Splunk for coordinating the workshop with 1AM and thank you Splunk team for being such an awesome team to work with! Click here to check out more pics of their workshop.

- History of Graffiti, Mural Walk Tour, Stenciling Tees, to Mural Production: the Facebook team met every activity with spunk, vigor and might! They were complete graffiti naturals, taking to the spray can like pros and blasting a dope mural on the wall.

Street Dreams are made of this
From the streets to 1AM gallery, Vogue has elevated the bar for spray can art. If you haven’t seen his street and gallery works, you need to come down to 1AM gallery and witness both. With Vogue’s solo exhibition at 1AM and two amazing streetside productions nearby, we still can’t get enough.
Vogue’s exhibition brings glimpses of his life to the viewer using only spray cans.
Nothing lasts forever, so make sure to get up close and personal before its gone. If you’d like to view the purchase the remaining artwork, please visit us at store1amsf.com.

“Outside In” exhibition artists bringing the Elephunk!
How many people can say they brought the Elephunk? Two of our “Outside In” exhibition artists certainly can as they managed to carve out some time from their busy 1AM gallery installation work to do so. It all started when a SOMA tech company, Cloudflare, contacted us to add some life to their freight elevator.
As we usually do for art projects, we drafted a few concepts, brought the right team together, picked up our Spanish Montana 94 colors, and got Elephunky.
If you want to get Elephunky, or just want 1AM to bring the phunk to your walls, contact info@1amsf.com for details.

Killer Video: Mike Kershnar paints 1AM
Mike Kershnar painted a vibrant mural of a coyote for us back in October for the Nature’s Revenge show. Sean Desmond made this amazing video of the work in progress. The frenetic style of the video is captivating. And we love how the neighborhood features in it as much as the art! Seriously, check out the chick at 1:28.
Mike made the whole mural with tools from 1AM. Sean made the whole video from brilliant!
Thanks, Mike and Sean.
