Mid Market
This piece is by Ricardo Rickey, also known as the Apexer. The flower is courtesy of Mona Caron. Both Mona Caron and the Apexer have several murals around San Francisco.
The mural is on the outside of a pop-up store called the Trailhead. Sprouting from the community-conscious and creatively driven minds at The Luggage Store, this new six-month-long pop-up shop includes an itsy-bitsy parklet of purchasable seedlings from the Tenderloin National Forest, mouth-watering pastries and sips by the folks at Farm:Table, art installations, and a denim-dominated workspace-slash-store managed by Holy Stitch! Denim Social Club.
This is the back of the store, where sadly the mural has been tagged.
This is such a fine collaboration, and it’s by two of my favorite San Francisco muralists. Damn the cretin who tagged it.
It’s beautiful – the flower in particular!
The plants look they’re on steroids rather than 0-10-10. haha. Hope you enjoyed this one day of sunshine. Happy Holidays.
