MEMEstreets (Now four years old!), features photographs of ephemeral art (graffiti, cryptic markings, and found art, both deliberate and accidental), discovered in the San Francisco Bay area and documented with my trusty Nikon digital camera. New photos are posted erratically, but I shoot for Monday, Wednesday and Friday.



magenta geisha

Posted February 4, 2009

Another instance of the Geisha-with-parasol image, from an artist apparently going by the handle “Burner”. A version in yellow and green was published previously on MEMEstreets (Here), and was found in the upper Haight-Ashbury. This was found in the lower Haight. Both are multicolored stencils on paper, which is pasted on a surface like a poster. Burner is also allegedly the creator of the two Geisha stencils found in Clarion Alley (HERE and HERE), and the Shaman stencils (HERE, HERE, and HERE).
