Last month, a group of artists had the chance to spend a week painting the walls of what used to be the North Park home of four San Diego musicians. The group that hosted the event is Sezio, a non-profit organization that provides supports emerging artists and musicians. I caught wind of them when they shared this picture of Kelli Murray painting at The Boat House. If you want to help Sezio, make sure to follow them on Twitter @sezio and become a fan of the Sezio Facebook page.

Crewest calls itself “Downtown LA’s premier graffiti gallery.” Its director, Man One (@crewest), is an artist himself and is all over social media. I heard about his art, and the gallery, when Man One shared this piece on Twitter during a recent trip to Monterey Bay. You can see art from Crewest, and more of Man One’s work, on his Flickr page. You can also catch Crewest on MySpace and Facebook. For the latest gallery news, make sure to subscribe to the gallery’s blog and don’t forget to visit crewest.com for everything else.

What do you get when you mix the last leader of the Nazi party with a popular science fiction theme and 17 syllables? You get Hitler killed by a mad time-traveling scientist, as illustrated by Nathan Olsens (@nateomedia) and accompanied by a haiku written by Robert Olsen. The pair run Haiku Comics. Go check out their site to see the full strip. How did I find out about the site? I noticed it when Olsens shared this panel on Twitter, of course.
