Model T
I came across this model T on my walk and had to put up a post about it. I have always loved the Ford Model T. Not only was it a revolutionary piece of technology for its day, I think it is just wonderful to look at. A perfect blend of function and form, Tin Lizzies (what owners lovingly referred to them as) are fun to explore with your eye. Every curve and detail has a functional purpose yet blends in perfectly with all the other piece. This makes the model T feel more like a unified work of art or an organic thing while other cars of its era often felt like collections of machinery on wheels encase in a ton of chrome. In many ways the model T’s design reminds me of modern day Apple computers; both design are the intersection of technology and elegance.

Graffiti I Like -Anime Guy
This stencil can be found in the back streets above Polk street in San Francisco. It has the blend of Asian and West Coast art that is now persuasive in the San Francisco art scene. I love this piece for how  beautifully kitsch it is and for its great use of hair.

Graffiti I Like – Rip It Up
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.
