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.

Elaborate multi-colored stencil found in Clarion Alley ( a block-long gallery of street art, murals and graffiti in San Francisco’s Mission District ).

There are several similarly complex and colorful stencils to be found in the alley; check out the photos, also posted on MEMEstreets. A second variation of this stencil, “White Geisha” with white kimono and a smaller and more rectangular frame, is located a few yards away; also nearby is an impressive multi-color stencil of a tribal-looking shaman figure.

Take a virtual tour of Clarion Alley using Google Maps, here.
