Murals murals everywhere

One of my favorite places in San Francisco is the Mission. Not only can you get off the BART and convince yourself that you have arrived in a foreign country, but the wall art is beautiful. I don't condone destroying someone elses private property (ie. tagging) but there is no denying that some graffiti is absolutely beautiful. Need some examples?


Look closely. This is the corner of a building column. The whole thing is just covered in beautiful images, but distortion of this sharp edge was fascinating to me.


Art is usually more permanent. It is a way to preserve your creativity and thoughts and the beauty or pain as you see it in the world forever. These artists do this amazing work fully aware that it will soon be painted over. Maybe by another artist, maybe replaced by a plain wall.
