Impressions of the Tenderloin
May 14, 2008
collaborative, mixed media on paper, 24" x 30"

with painting by Melody L., Kaiulani W., stencils by Micco F., photography by Ben Chun, and writing and drawings by other students.

This painting is part of a group artistic exploration of San Francisco that I have been working on at Galileo Academy. Students ideas about the Tenderloin Neighborhood and parts of SOMA are collaged together into this cityscape.

One student wrote, as part of an affiliated 'zine project, "i have no problem walking through sixth street. i always walk by and no on gives me trouble. i know a few people from sixth street and its not that bad. and all this stuff about TL being violent is untrue. if you don't mess with people, they don't mess with you. the beefing stuff with TL and sixth street don't even matter cuz its not like they stop you and ask you where your from."

Martha and Bros. in Pierre Valley
December 26, 2007

Martha and Bros. is a small chain of coffee shops in San Francisco that can be pretty good at being the hub of a neighborhood. This was a nice place to stop for some hot chocolate after feeding a friend's cat in Pierre Valley.

"Si, Se Puede" at City Hall
May 1, 2007
marker and pencil on paper, 5" x 7"

For the second year in a row, May Day (International Workers Day for the rest of the world) was a day to rally for the rights of immigrant workers in the United States. I stopped by San Francisco's civic center on the way home where thousands were gathered to call for amnesty and respect for the people who keep our economy running.

Apparently, some cops got violent in L.A.

This is the drawing of the week for April 28 - May 5, 2007.

acrylic on canvas, 9" x 12" (sold)

Ozomatli plays in front of towering redwood trees in the San Francisco treasure of Stern Grove. The site has amazing natural acoustics, which is why Rosalie Stern insisted that free concerts always be held there as a condition of her gift of the park to the city of San Francisco.

A More Green Market Street
October 22, 2005
acrylic and mixed media on canvas, 30" x 36"

This is a painting of Market Street guided by the imagination of randomly selected San Franciscans who contributed drawings and ideas about our cities main artery. This process can be seen in the "Market Street Project" topic gallery.

There were quite a few people who favored turning Market Street into a waterway and many more who wanted the street to be "greener" in a variety of ways.

I collaged these contributions onto the sides of the canvas and included some of the kiosk poster designs in the corners.
