Different levels of defacing

A few weeks ago, my friend & I took a stroll around my neighborhood, and noticed a few things...

Funny mustache-defacing of mural by artist Rocky Villanueva. It was originally clean-shaven, like this. Located next to The Summit.





Typical deface tagging of Banksy chief on Sycamore at Mission (near 17th St). We noticed someone tried to preserve the piece by painting around the original figure. This "save" resulted in a more abstract result of the original, I have to admit I quite like. Photo of original before.




Defacing in the manner of delightful inspiration! Banksy birdsong piece that sparked an entire mural. I love this kind of stuff. On Erie at Mission (near 14th St).

The never-ending Summer

Don't brush my wind-blown hair just yet....

Dare I say?

She's as good as the original. Oh, a trance.... What have you done to me?

Cloudbusting

My good friend Tammy flies in the clouds for a living, and I suspect this may be a common view. I think this image perfectly captures the fresh feeling of a new day, and touches an unreal, surreal landscape in the sky that is in fact, so, so real. (photo: Tammy Carrico Meigs)

Happy New Year y'all...

Holidazed

Coasting down the slope at the tail end of this year, wraps some things up in neat bows, and finds new boxes wide open. I like the idea of expanse --a never ending road, if you will. It's the feeling of a promise to a very interesting journey.

I try to keep my eyes on the beauty of this world

but these realities just fill me with grief...

There is a beautiful sorrow

And then birdsong...

When nights are rough

I drift off in my little yellow float boat...
