Valencia







Flesh-tinted mural in a San Francisco alleyway depicting life along Valencia Street in the Mission. The characters with the dialogue-bubbles are talking about the Adobe Bookshop on 16th Street near Valencia. Recently the owners of the shop collaborated on an installation with local artists who dreamed of rearranging all the books on all the shelves by color for one weekend.


When the weekend was over the artists put the books back in their everyday order by subject.
