The New Inspirational Movement

The new thing is that there’s a mural project finally happening on my block in da mission… finally after all these years. i first got the idea in Rigo’s Public Mural class when i was his TA in 1998 at the San Francisco Art Institute. I tried to get it off the ground several years ago as a female graffiti mural project with crisaida and leslie, but we couldn’t get permission from anyone and it turned into a big headache. But now, finally, my neighbor’s Randolph and Lisa have begun to get permission from many of the building owners and the LILAC MURAL PROJECT is off the ground. it’s not what i originally envisioned, but it still has good energy and is full of plenty of great graffiti pieces (vs traditional brush painted murals). i’ll blog later with pics of all the pieces, but i wanted to share this one to start. this pic was taken a couple of weeks ago. it’s me and Jet (from Clarion Alley Mural Project) reunited. Jet was my student in Rigo’s class at SFAI. Jet’s doing something on Lilac, but not for a bit cuz he was in the middle of wedding plans. Anyhow, i just thought it was a great pic. Jet’s really cool and Randolph captured it in the photo. thanks Randolph for taking this flick!
