Rip It Up, as I call it, is one of my all-time favorite stencils in San Francisco. Anyone who has lived here can attest to the seemingly endless parade of people tearing up a street, paving it over only to tear it up again one month later. The city would benefit greatly from a little coordination in regards to street work.
Along Oak street in Hayes Valley you can still see two or three faded versions of this piece. It is a fairly complicated stencil with lots small details making finding a crisp version a rare find. I usually like cleaner designs but the subject matter along with the iconic imagery makes this one a personal joy to stumble across.
