Our resident blogger, Jillian Mackintosh, just wrote up a nice blog post on the art of Yellena James, who has a new show Biosynthesis up at Gallery Hijinks in San Francisco through January 1, 2011. As Mackintosh wrote, "Yellena James surprised everyone when she showed up with a 95″ x 52″ acrylic on canvas painting . . . We’ve joked that this piece gave her carpal tunnel syndrome."

*Every Sunday, Juxtapoz.com will highlight an artist that we feel is currently on the cusp of a new level of critical and technical success.

Anyone who made it to Shepard Fairey's May Day show, the final at Deitch Projects, remembers how striking the work looked against the gigantic white walls.

Book cover and spreads after the jump . . .

After spending most of our evening at our sister publication's anuual "Thrasher Skater of the Year" party last night, Juxtapoz.com headed over to the Lower Haight for something a bit different: the "Bruce Bacca Pop-Up Church," hosted by our very own New Media and Technology Editor, Alexander Tarrant. That is our Jux.com editor under the Bacca wood headpiece up there. More after the jump . . .

Banksy just released his new print through Pictures on Walls titled "Choose Your Weapon." That is significant unto itself, but what makes it even more so is that fact that Banksy is taking all the proceeds of the 4 versions and donating it to the defense fund of VOINA, a Russian art collective in prison for drawing a large, um, phallus on a KGB building in St Petersburg.
