This random shot was taken while I was waiting at the San Bruno Bart station, as the San Francisco Airport was close by.
Evidence of a trip to Yerba Buena Gardens in the morning.
I’ve met Idiot the Wise, aka !Inspire! on Flickr, and came across a call for arts towards the Inspire Collective Art Show (to be shown in galleries and on the streets of Tel Aviv). Such a great concept. You could check out the Flickr gallery for the first show here.
Spring is here! Looking forward to warmer weather, when you could eat ice cream at night without getting a wicked chill afterwards.
This photo was shot near the Presidio area in San Fran. It was a wonderfully cloudy day.

Sabertooth Lion Cub is a mixed media project exploring the darker side of art. You can see the initial graphite drawing devoid of color and gradients. There’s a distinct Giger influence, but I took some artistic licensing in the anatomy of the cub. He’s a little vicious, but a cutey.
The Paper Toy Contest sponsored by Giant Robot Magazine and Scion has a fun streetart feel. You could view all the submissions here. The highlighted artist is Shin Tanaka, a graffiti artist specializing in vinyl and paper toys. Thus far, he has participated in about 500 projects worldwide.
Awesome Capture from San Francisco Magazine is an inspiring article on the wonders of Flickr and its impact on several individuals.
I wholeheartedly agree with the article–Flickr has changed my life. It’s an amazing source of inspiration–mainly due to the fact that you become (sometimes instantly) integrated with a global network of creatives. It’s opened my eyes to other styles and artistic techniques. Through Flickr, I’ve gotten the opportunity to publish my photos on other sites through networking and tagging. The stat features and the interaction with other members allow me to get a sense of what people like and which images are more popular. Looking at others’ photos is also an encouragement to take better photos or create more artwork. The constant creative energy, positivity and stickiness of the site are invaluable. Thanks Flickr!!

Love the textures of old, urban structures. This was taken near the San Francisco Presidio.
Natural beauty.
