VULCAN MURAL
| BLUXOME ALLEY
.
According to the New York Times, VULCAN'S 'fiery flowery walls at
Bluxome -
a street in San Francisco, are particularly brilliant'.
|
|

|
This
medium demands quick decisions. Hesitate with your spray can
for an instant, and you may obliterate hours of work. Linger
on a piece for an extra minute, and you may spend a few years
in prison. When you work on the street, as opposed to in a
studio, each gesture is definitive, every decision irrevocable.
Vulcan’s major accomplishment, like that of a great
jazz musician, is to communicate the feel of improvisation.
Caught by surprise, we move our eyes swiftly from color to
color, finding delight in pure invention. The spectacle is
uninhibited by conceptual conceits, or intellectual pretensions,
yet reveals the glittering thoughts of a lively mind. Vulcan’s
mural is simply, marvelously, a celebration of dead space
redeemed by human inspiration...

MOBILE
BUSINESS 2.0 MAGAZINE
The
penultimate issue of Business 2.0 included
a feature story on START MOBILE.
Forget Nerf rockets and Razor scooters -- those dotcom
accoutrements would seem downright stodgy at the headquarters of
START MOBILE, where the fridge is filled with Guinness and the payroll
is filled with folks named Vulcan and Chor Boogie. START, which
licenses the work of emerging artists for use as cell-phone wallpaper,
is based in an old warehouse that was once an after-hours club in
one of the grittier parts of San Francisco's Mission district. At
one end of the space, a design team has just loaded T-Mobile's new
Sidekick with digital art.
At the other, above a stairway festooned with palm fronds and faux
Roman ruins, the aforementioned Vulcan spray-paints a canvas. Near
the fully stocked bar, a large table serves as a communal desk for
the five-person staff. "We have instant access to our art-world
partners," explains CEO John Doffing, who nonetheless concedes
that his "office" is unusual: A visitor recently described
it as Pirates of the Caribbean on acid." - Michael V. Copeland
