SFist: Since 1992, the Clarion Alley Mural Project has been visually voicing artists’ objections to SF gentrification with a regularly-refreshed batch of nearly 50 murals on the tiny alley’s walls.
SFist: How many times has this welcomed you back from a vacation? This artisitic variation on the old one-way sign is concocted by Rigo 23, a Bay Area public art treasure for over 30 years.
SFist: Maybe it’s because I’m more hipster than James Franco in Dolores Park creating an Indiegogo campaign on his smartwatch, but I love the vibrant, comical work of Sirron Norris seen all over town.
SFist: One of many fine Mona Caron murals, this is a time-traveling trip depicting Wobblies and longshoremen getting kicked by cops, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Extra Action Marching Band.
