This lovely mural was done to hopefully stop the graffiti that had been occurring on the door. The artist is Deborah Yoon and according website she is a self taught multimedia artist who considers both San Francisco and New York home. She works primarily with pen, sumi-e, paint, and has experimented with steel. Deborah received a bachelors of Fine Art and Art History at New York University.
As you can see by the comments the owner of the house saw this post. I asked him for some further information and here is what he had to say “The house is a residential live/work space, “Langton Labs”, where a dozen or so folks live together and use our big common space to build art and technology projects, host events, and so on.
Our friend Deborah painted the mural a few months ago and it is quite lovely. It was indeed on top of some ugly tagging, though we’d been meaning to do SOMETHING there for a while.”
That should keep the graffiti away in style!
It is quite lovely to wake up and find my house on your blog!
Very nice. I would think it would be somewhat difficult to paint on what appears to be corrugated steel!
I love that phrase: “somewhere along the San Francisco + New York City intersection” even if I’m not sure what it means. That’s a long way between the two metropolises… 🙂
I simply love the wonderful art that you capture!!
I wish you a most wonderful New Year.
Good street art is SO much better than random tagging… nicely captured!
Nicely done! Hopefully taggers will respect her art and stay away.
love the vibrant colors of this mural!
happy new year! 🙂 I hope you had a great holiday, looking forward to your posts in the new year!
If tagging has done anything good, it might be to get municipalities to develop more street art to combat it!
