I am a huge fan of Lady Mags and Amanda Lynn, and they have been on this website many times. I have also been walking by this piece for quite a while, admiring it and yet not quite having a chance to take pictures when it wasn’t blocked by cars. Finally, I had the chance, so here it is for your pleasure.

According to Amanda Lynn’s website:

Lady Mags and I (aka Alynn-Mags) recently completed the largest mural production we have ever created, and it all happened in less than 5 days! We were asked to collaborate with JanSport and their ‘Live Outside’ campaign, to create a mural any size and any content that we could imagine. Mags and I decided to go bigger than ever and create a piece that was enhanced by elements of our fine art collaborations, traditional graffiti, and of course some lovely ladies! We are so honored and humbled by all the amazing support we have received with this project, and look forward to doing many more. Stay tuned for the official campaign launch and accompanying video of the whole process.

If you follow this website often, you will notice that I have been doing fewer and fewer murals. The reason is they have become repetitive. I am in awe with anyone that can take brush or spray can to a wall and create something of beauty. However, the art of so many of the artists I have focused on in this website can be recognized without the help of a guide. The same might be said of Alynn-Mags, but it isn’t quite true. Their work, while often of beautiful women, are of the same genre, but the paintings themselves are each unique and beautiful.

I look forward to catching other great street artists breaking out of their molds.

As you turn onto Clinton Park from Valencia the first piece you are greeted with is the beauty by Amanda Lynn. Few and Far have covered the walls of Clinton Park to the delight of all that wonder down this very short alley.

And a little further down Valencia at Duboce, you will find another by Mags and Amanda Lynn

This is an empty lot that was taken over (with permission) by Few and Far. Few and Far is a woman’s street art group and this is what they say about themselves on their blog:

Few and Far is a movement that brings together talented women who are involved in graffiti, Skateboarding and street art from all over the world. Few and Far connects women by creating social and artistic exchange, by showcasing art on the streets, on walls and in other high profile venues. Few and Far fosters and celebrates the power and expression of female street artists. Importantly, Few and Far consists of a team of open minded, highly creative, cutting edge and dedicated every day females. We seek to expand this movement with the involvement more around the globe, and hope to highlight their commitment to their craft. Also Building life long friendships.

The group is made up of a quite a number of women.

Lady Mags is from Oakland.

Hops is from Seattle. (From Few and Far’s Blog) Few & Far’s Hops is such a dope person on many levels. She is very motived, fast and clean painting, often finished before any of us have our final outlines up. She paints anything she gets her hands on!

Dime is from Oakland.
