The Tour Funds the Murals (Video)
I have my local public art tour set up through a DIY tour site (set up a tour in your city) called Vayable.com. They just moved offices a block away from CELLspace and the murals that I try to maintain and curate. Hard to maintain and curate with no budget, but I make it happen via profits form the tour and an amazing group of volunteer artists, builders, and neighbors.
I walked June from Vayable through CELLspace last week and gave her a tour. She made a short video of the visit.

Archives Still Broken ... Fix is Sloooow
If you're still wondering, there is still no access to the Stencil Archives.
We are trying to fix the situation as fast as we can.
Apologies to everyone who is trying to access and enjoy the photos.
This no budget labor of love is fast becoming a well-oiled semi-pro org! After two server breaks in a year, we're rethinking our strategy and hope to have improved service for you all, very soon, from here on out!
Thanks,
Russell
Young & Free : Final Sneak Peak
A few more photos of the Young & Free install. Dabs and Myla working away under their mural, and Ha Ha's stencils on wood hanging on the opposite side of 941 Geary. See you all there tomorrow night!
@#%*!! Another Server Migration Breaks the Archives
Well.... my host Open Guild has moved this site to another server (again), and effectively broken the Archives (Gallery) side links to all the photos.
Please be patient while the OG people rectify the situation.
I may not announce the fix until next week. Hopefully things will be repaired by then and most of you won't even know!
Sorry (again) for the inconvenience....
