I saw this compelling installation by Barry McGee (aka Twist) at SFMOMA while I was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. Born and raised in SF, McGee has been a significant figure in bringing street art into mainstream galleries. His mixture of graffiti, colourful geometric graphics, and photography are displayed together in a distinctive style he adopted following a trip to Brazil, where he was inspired by a similar arrangements of artworks in churches.
You can check out my SF photo set on Flickr.

Design agency Whitespace have commissioned Aberdeen-based illustrator Johanna Basford to help design this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme cover. What is she illustrating?

I’ve just watched her draw my suggestion of an astronaut riding the Udderbelly cow in outer space. Yay!
