1. These are simply gorgeous, and thank you for sharing them, my dear Old Crank!

The amount of detail and the colors and the designs are just amazing! The creativity just blows me away.

[Old Crank]

2. Thank you

I like inventive street art but don't really apreciate tagging. Even if some is pretty inventive

[Bayard]

3. Wonderful!

4. I love San Francisco murals

My brother lived there until he died in 1988. Hubby and I always flew out to visit his family, even after his death. His father-in-law always took us around to view things in the city when we visited. On one trip it was to see the beautiful mural graffiti. I remember an alley that was a couple blocks long and every building had gorgeous art work painted on it. The above are stunning.

20. That alley could have been Balmy st.

It is a feast for the eyes and a look into another culture.

5. Beautiful.

Really improves the urban landscape

10. I have thought for decdes now that every urban surface should be

regarded as a canvas. Even this community is starting to come around to that view.

6. Those are wonderful!

[Old Crank]

21. Thanks

Full credit goes to the artist not the recorder.

27. But you shared so we can see!

7. Good on them. Right-wingers HATE murals.

Especially if they feature some non-white motif.

When Pinochet took over in Chile in '73, one of his first orders was to order all the murals painted over - and he made a special point to single out any with Indigenous motifs.

After he bowed out in '90, a few were meticulously restored (as much as they could, anyway).

9. Such hatred, ignorance, and prejudice should be unfathomable, but, sadly,

we have become, depressingly, far too familiar with it.

[peppertree]

11. Well said. People can be depressing sometimes.

Deep breaths really do help (and St. John's Wort).

[niyad]

12. Wine or brandy also helps.

[peppertree]

13. A-ha!

My favorite is Cointreau - bursting with zesty orange flavor as it is.

So intense, just a taste will often do (a little more, if you were chewed out by somebody).

[niyad]

15. Absolutely agree!

[Old Crank]

22. Darling of the GOP

Back in the day.

[peppertree]

26. Absolutely. And now, they're trying to recreate that model of governance here

But with a lot less Spanish.



(in a lot of cases, of course, economic ruin often followed the wave of atrocities)

[Diamond_Dog]

17. Thank you for posting these

The artwork is so beautiful. I could look at these for hours.

[Pinback]

18. Fantastic! As you may know,

Precita Eyes Muralists is a nonprofit organization there dedicated to preserving and promoting the Mission District murals:
https://www.precitaeyes.org/

I had a wonderful day a few years ago roaming that area and seeing one jaw-dropping, inspiring mural after another. A glorious tribute to the human spirit.

[Old Crank]

24. You could spend a lot of time

Searching them out. Plus picking up some of the local foods to sustain your efforts.

19. These murals are anazing, and your photos have captured them beautifully.

I can't tell you how much I love these vibrant explosions of color. I love things that are colorful, and the artists who have created these have used dramatic palettes of the kind of bright, intense hues that my eyes love to wallow in. Thanks for sharing these images!

[Old Crank]

25. Thanks

The least that I could do for these artist and the area.

[JohnnyRingo]

28. I LOVE the anime one.

Usually have to wait for a freight train to go by to see such a level of graffiti art.
