Extended Vacation, new photography work by Ken Goto, opened last weekend at Cassel Gallery in San Francisco.  Much of the work was in collaboration with many familiar and established artists.  Ken's images range from a serene portrait of Snoop Dog to a vibrant, minimal shot taken from an airplane window.  Take a look at some of the photos from the show here or, better yet, go see it in person.  More after the jump...

Besides being far better at Fruit Ninja than us (821? That is good), Ferris Plock is a very talented fine artist based in San Francisco, California. His solo show at Shooting Gallery late last year was well-received, and Ferris just released this new print, "Hidden," through Tiny Showcase for a good cause. More information on how to get it after the jump . . .

My nostalgia for old video games stems from the "simpler" times of video games, when controllers had 4 buttons and a d-pad, graphics were all 8-bit, and you had to blow into games to get them to function correctly.  Ahhh the wonder years.... well some other people share my old timey views, and one of those people (Ninjamoped) went out of their way to make some awesome 8-bit styled art. Watch the video after the jump . . .

One-hundred thousand carats of jewelry can't be wrong. And somebody had some time on their hands. A Chinese jewelry collector decided that having money wasn't enough, and re-created Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” with 100,000 carats of jewelry. And so it goes. More after the jump . . .

At first this looks like an ad for Coca-Cola. A photograph. But if you look closer, and you have to look close, this is an oil on canvas painting by Pedro Campos. This is some of the best photorealistic work we have seen in quite some time. More after the jump . . .

I remember the first time I took the trip out from my suburban town on Long Island to visit 5Pointz in Queens, it was a surreal experience as it was every time I would visited there after. Unfortunately 5Pointz is in jeopardy of being bulldozed by developers, this would be a tragedy in the street art community. Watch Meres One speak about 5Pointz after the jump…
