Ah, Asheville. A small city with the flare and vibes of a bigger metropolis. We have visited this spot more than anywhere else in the world, and sometimes spot stencils. During a recent trip to visit friends and see a rocking show, a few stencils popped up during our too-brief stay. Snapping a few new ones was a great excuse to update the North Carolina archive, which includes stencils across the state dating back to 2003. As always, there WILL be another trip into Western NC. 100% guaranteed!

Wishful Fall-like thinking in all those spots that are still melting hot!

After months of archive updating, holding submitted images for weeks and weeks, the Stencil Archive backlog is complete. As we head into a new season, fall here in San Francisco, with a full moon about to rise in a few hours, the sense of completion feels great. There will always be more pics on the way. Always!

One goat, two elephants, three monkeys, and now a lone wolf... Banksy (his Stencil Archive) must be causing a frenzy in the streets of London this week. We are tracking Banksy's website, and getting the West Coast USA scoop on pics for you all. No need to click around looking for them! :P

Update... It is Sunday morning here in San Francisco, and Banksy is still getting up (cats, fish, birds)..... keep clicking the above link to get the latest.

Real quick, because we got s..t to do!

At just about 1,200 photos, the Mission District Stencil Archive is one of the largest collections of this project. Remember, this archive does not include any stencils on Valencia St. or Clarion Alley. Together, totaling almost 2,000 jpgs, these locations have been the heart of stencil art in San Francisco, with the Mission also covering Dolores Park, the Inner Mission, other mural alleys (Lilac, Stevenson, Blamy, etc.), Liberty Heights, and parts of The Hub. While correcting image info, some photos were moved to other places. This caused some side-updating, which can be found here:

• Pneu
• Gay Shame
• Borf
• Nils 
• FKZ
• and the SF Poster collection
