Postcards from San Francisco: "Covid-19!" Erie alley.

When I took this photo I noticed 4-5 officers from the SF Sheriff's department and some police in the alley. One approached me and said, "Isn't that great?" I agreed and he said, "Did you see the other one?"

He said it was at the other end (other side of all the officers); I asked if I could go look. He said yes and told the other officers I was going through. Escorting me, he explained the artists all have permission from the businesses and created an unofficial art fund for them.

But I wasn't prepared for the art he sent me to look at. He said he was glad I was taking photos because it would probably be gone by the end of the month.

This is in Erie alley, at South Van Ness.

I got closer to the three panels. Bats, conspiracy theories, FEMA, year of the rat, drones, 5G, planet on fire, it's all in there (again, Erie alley at S Van Ness).

Oops, I forgot to include: if you want to see these hi-res I added them to my SF Street Art album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/violetblue/albums/72157713485608572

The sheriff escorted me back and we talked about public art and digital privacy. I never found out why they were all there.
