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

Not only are the Olympics entertaining and distracting as spectacle, they can be educational too. While women's beach volleyball was on in the background (waiting to watch some fencing goodness), the USA announcers called the USA opponent's country Czechia. Stencil Archive never got the memo that the Czech Republic is now Czechia, but the news was a great reason to update this country's archive. Then the ball got rolling, so here are some B-E countries that also got upgraded with today's effort:

• Czechia
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Belgium
• Bulgaria
• Dolk, from Spain
• Denmark
• Estonia

More fun San Francisco updates for your late-July summer musings. Off the bat (nods all to the late and great Willie Mays), we have updated Yon's stencil archive, and added a batch from his exhibit at The Neon this Wednesday down on Union Street (with cut outs). 

We also updated the Protest Stencils in SF archive, and added one from last year that was on the bench for a while in the dugout. 

And, the rest of the heavy-hitting crew from the mighty San Francisco streets:

• At first, a cool one in the Lower Haight
• Playing right field, a group from around SF
• A few in the Financial District are at short-stop position
• Josiah pinch hits for one in The Richmond
• Lynn Ray will be helping out with clean up in the Tenderloin
• Finally, pitching, a killer yard sale sign on Fillmore Street

Until the 7th inning stretch, enjoy!
