"Slam Dance" Mike Kershnar

  The works of street artist, painter, skateboarder Mike Kershnar. 
"Slam Dance" was an exhibit of painting, street art and graphics hosted at the RVCA Gallery in San Francisco California

Mike is a California native artist from Irvine, he's been a part of the skateboard industry for quite sometime, started working at the Visalia skate camp where he met Element founder Johnny S. and Todd Larson from Elemental Awareness. He's created many skateboard graphics for Element, Toy Machine, Baker and t-shirts for many brands. Mike has also created poster art for rock bands. Today Mike is an internationally known street artist and currently resides in San Francisco and where ever his passion of art takes him.

I was fortunate enough to check out Mike's show in San Francisco at the RVCA Gallery on my last visit to the bay area. It was cool to meet up with him, have  a couple brews and explore the streets. Below are some photos of his show, enjoy. - Jose Cerda
