It’s not really news whenever someone starts a Tumblr account but when that someone is bad ass illustrator and tattoo artist Mike Giant well…then it is news.

Agency Charlie has put together a nice little series of short stories about individuals from various neighborhoods in San Francisco titled Neighbors. This segment focuses on Mike Giant and his life and work as an artist in SF. Mike is someone we have always held in high regard.
I am a long time fan and lover of all that grafitti artist Mike Giant does and here is a nice little snapshot of him doing what he does best.
The results of Mike Giant’s recent show at White Walls SF can currently be seen at the White Walls website. I was absolutely blown away, especially when you consider that all of the work is sharpie, pen and ink. I have been working with vector art for more than a decade now and to see someone bang out something that looks like a vector by hand is pretty amazing. The type work is phenomenal as well. Again just unreal that it is done by hand. The fact that Giant signs his work with a thumb print makes the pieces even more indescribably awesome.
A lot of the work is still available for purchase as well and if you are a collector you can’t miss. If you can afford an expensive art purchase in this economy please help support this artist because his work is top notch.
