On my first trip to SF, I took the above photo the first time I went to San Francisco in 2002. It was when I first started shooting graffiti and I was pretty excited to see this Bob Marley quote.
On my last night in San Francisco, I passed the same spot in a cab, but the piece was different:
I don't know what happened, but I'm glad it's still there in some form or another.

I came across some great, huge wall sized graffiti all around San Francisco. They were striking to me, coming from New York, where it's harder to find those giant works. I got a bunch of shots of those, particularly with interesting Wildstyle pieces. I'll be posting those eventually, but I thought I'd spend this week posting the smaller, uncommon work: Stencils, Paste-Ups, stickers and so on.
To start off is this cool paste up that I found on my return to Clarion Alley.

I came across this Banksy piece after getting lunch at Mozza the other day. I was really psyched to see it. I haven't really seen a lot of his work as much as heard about it. The sentiment here is one I'm pretty familiar with.

I was a huge fan of the "choose your own adventure" books as a kid. Sadly, I didn't take the adventure, so I'll never know where it would have led. . .

It was nice to see this Swoon out in San Francisco. It's a copy of the same piece that was splashed on Rivington a while back. I haven't seen much in the way of new work from her in a long time. I'll take what I can get.
Since I wrote this, Gothamist posted about her return to the city. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her new stuff.

I love this updated interpretation of the Virgin of Guadalupe, it's a modernization you don't see so often. It almost reminds me of a more sincere "Buddy Christ" from Dogma.
Clarion Alley is the treasure trove I discovered in The Mission the other day. It's between 17th and 18th Streets and goes from Mission to Valencia. I took more than a hundred shots of the pieces up there. A selection of them will be the Graffiti of the Day for the next week. Enjoy! ::c::

Clarion Alley, The Mission, San Francisco. 2008.
I finally tore myself away from the geekfest bubble for a couple of hours last night and encountered some great graffiti. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me, so I had to shoot these with my phone. In a couple hours the conference will be all done and I can go shooting. I can't wait to get at this stuff with some decent light and a real camera. I just hope my wide angle can capture it all.
Market Street, San Francisco. 2008.
These 'warnings' are posted all around the convention center downtown. On them theArtist General warns about the hazards of conformity and the need for dissent.
SOMA, SF. 2007.
Yes, this is in San Francisco, but not from this trip. I've barely had the camera out all week. It's been busy. Hopefully I'll find some time to do a little hunting near the end of the week.
Also, I have no idea if that says Sidem or something else entirely. I'm terrible at reading wildstyle.
Atlanta, GA. 2008.
It's been an interesting week in the Presidential campaign, which is not something I've been able to say for some time. Most interesting have been the conventions of concession, which we only begin to recognize when someone fails to follow them.
I'm doing my best to avoid television for as much of tomorrow as I can, but I'm sure I'll hear what Hillary has to say before the day is done. Hopefully, we can keep it together and start the campaign off right.

Yet another behind the times post:
Luna Park, whose photos I've been following since I started on Flickr, years ago, was 'immortalized' in a paste up by ElbowToe. I found this one in DUMBO, back in January.

Gothamist reminds us that 5 years ago today, we were told that "Major Combat Operations" in Iraq were at an end. I wonder what the rest of this has been then...

Williamsburg, Brooklyn. 2008.
Artist: US Senator.
A month or so ago, I came across a few US Senator pieces out in Williamsburg. Until then, I had only seen his stuff in San Francisco, under the freeway in SoMa. Despite the name, the paste ups are invariably portraits of US Presidents, usually accompanied by the number president they are.
I'm not sure how many are around. So far, I've just seen this one and one of Nixon (with no number, that I could see).

Center City, Philadelphia. 2007. Artist: Bob
You'll find Bob peeking at you out of corners all around Center City. Most of what I've seen are paste-ups or stickers, the most popular methods in all the Philly Street Art I've seen, but occasionally you'll see some sprayed work like the one above.
::c::
Center City, Philadelphia. 2007.
Artist: A Little Birdie & Mousse.
Given all the time I've spent in the Philly area of late, it's ridiculous that I haven't posted much of the street art I've shot down there.
To counter that, I'm making this week "Philadelphia Street Art Week." I'll be highlighting some of the graffiti, mostly stickers and paste-ups that is all over the areas of Center City I end up frequenting.
There are a few artists that are just prolific, posting memes all over the place, and I'll post some of them later this week, but I wanted to start with this collaboration from two artists I've only seen once. A Little Birdie and Mousse are both on Flickr if you'd like to see more of their work.

I found this in an alley in San Francisco recommended in the San Francisco Graffiti group on Flickr.
Great metalwork piece by Revs. It looks even better large. I can't wait until it warms up so I can go looking for more. I haven't been on an expedition in ages.
We get a two-fer tonight since I started working on the new Graffiti of the Day feature late at night, I get to post one before and the other after midnight.
This shot is a close up of a freehand piece painted by ElbowToe outside of 11 Spring Street a few days before the event.
I had been out of town for most of the build up to the big weekend so I hadn't seen any of it. ElbowToe was actually there working on it, so I thought he was just putting it up. Afterwards I discovered that it had been splashed and he was touching it up after repainting portions of it.
::c::
Graffiti is one of my favorite photo subjects. I feel as though that's been neglected in the blog so far.
To rectify that, I'm introducing a new Graffiti of the Day feature. Now, I don't get into the Graffiti vs Street Art debate. It's all Graffiti to me whether it's spray paint on a wall, paint on wood tiles, pasted paper or metalwork.
I'll try to add as much about the piece featured as I can recall.
This shot was taken in the SOMA area of San Francisco earlier this year. It's by The Mac.
