Pete and I felt adventurous last November and decided to explore new territory in San Francisco, specifically the street art in the Mission District. Here is a sampling of the mural art we saw on Balmy & Clarion Alleys. We were awestruck by the talent of these muralists.
BALMY ALLEY — contains murals with most Latino themes:
Amazing 3D art in the hood
These graffiti artists can paint our neighborhood alley any day of the week.
A tribute to Frida Kahlo and her muralist husband, Diego Rivera
Boys in the hood & Day of the Dead
The symbols of WAR & PEACE via a garage door
The tree of San Francisco life
Pete and Michael — “Cool Criminals”
Dragons & cacti & homeboy, oh my
