Anatomy of NextFnnch // Brand New Paint JobWho owns our streets? Our bus and train stops? Our public walls and public parks? If public property truly belongs to the public, can members of the public (which is to say: us) do with our property whatever we want? And on the absolute ground floor, can we not just... make it all look a little bit nicer?
Fnnch is an artist based in San Francisco, and the man behind the famous honey bear, which locals have seen... pretty much everywhere. Here, the bear is more than a cute apparition, it's a symbol of a 21st century philosophy of art...

Magic Minds#21 — fnnch — Art. Everywhere.fnnch is perhaps the most recognizable name in street art in San Francisco with his mega-size honey bears, pop-art lips, poppy flowers and poodles gracing our city in the unlikeliest of places. He wasn't always pursuing a passion in art, much less attempting a career in it. And he rarely speaks publicly about what it's like to be him.
He is also known for being the only anonymous TED speaker to date, and this episode goes deep into the “below the line” version of someone that has very little “above the line” outside of his public work that —by...

Storied: San Franciscofnnch's First Time Being Spotted Doing Street ArtSan Francisco street artist fnnch first caught my eye when I started seeing his honey bears on buildings and mailboxes around the Mission. I've always appreciated street art, but these bears were something special, with their precision and cheeky playfulness. For this episode of Storied: San Francisco, fnnch describes what it was like to get started doing street art in Duboce Park. After gaining more confidence and beginning to paint in broad daylight, he ended up having a rather heart-warming run-in with some young students. Be on the lookout for fnnch's beautiful art all over...
