WEBZINE, an annual non-profit event held in San
Francisco for the last 3 years, is making its debut on
the East coast for the first time this year. It is an

well as entertainment. WEBZINE represents people with
a passion and a drive to create media that is outside
of the mainstream, media where expression, rather than
money is the bottom line. WEBZINE celebrates the fact

free speech is great - unless it's about graffiti

The totally misnamed "freespeech.org" has reportedly been kicking graffiti sites off its server without any warning. This is appalling behavour for any ISP in the "free world" and should not be tolerated. If you have a site on freespeech.org, vote with your feet, because first they came for the graffiti sites...

RIP Meta (Margaret Kilgallen)

"Margaret Kilgallen, an artist who contributed to the vibrant fusion of graffiti art, folk art, painting and installation art that emerged in San Francisco in the 1990's, died Thursday [June 28] in San Francisco. She was 33.

The cause was complications of breast cancer, her family said.

Ms. Kilgallen was born in Washington and raised in Kensington, Md. She received a B.A. in studio art and printmaking at Colorado College before moving to San Francisco. Exposed to bluegrass music as a child, Ms. Kilgallen was a skillful banjo player. In San Francisco she took up surfing, becoming equally adept. In 1990 she met her future husband, Barry McGee, also a surfer, and one of several young painters showing in galleries and painting noncommissioned murals on city walls. She and Mr. McGee, who were married in 1999, became part of a circle that included the artists Chris Johanson, Phil Frost, Ed Templeton and Thomas Campbell.

Ms. Kilgallen eventually painted hundreds of murals around San Francisco, most of which have been painted over.

Ms. Kilgallen's work is currently in "East Meets West," an exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia through July 29, and at Stanford University, where she received a master's degree on June 17.

She is survived by her husband; a daughter, Asha, who was born on June 7 [...]"
