Ben Ward, from the email:
In the past week or so some fantastic new art has been showing up all over town, some in the Mission, some over in Soma. Little paper cut outs, detailed in thick black marker pen, glued to walls and whathaveyou. No name, few titles.
I don’t really know what is going on with these cutouts, but I’ve been seeing them around the Mission as well and they are awesome. Take this one from Dolores Park:

The artist’s name is SCROTE and her/his art is amazing
Sadly they don’t have a website, but rely on people like you to document and post about it!
it’s just a rip of of don hertzfeldt’s work.
he does have a webstie.

The art is pretty similar to Don Hertzfeldt’s stuff. You may have seen his animated short ‘Rejected,’ it garnered some viral fame a few years ago. Not sure if its related though.

The girl with “sXe” on her stomach is a pretty unfortunately misogynistic hardcore joke that goes: “Girls can’t be straight-edge.”

Wasn’t going for misogyny. In my experience I have never met a straight edge girl. But like Unicorns and dragons, I wish they existed.

I’d take the Unicorn.
