This was a sketch I did at the mission district in San Francisco . This is one of the many taquerias in the area. Oddly enough I never ate at La Parilla Grill, but I was sitting right across street at Philz Coffee where I met a lot of interesting people. I met a lot of locals who have lived in the mission for a very long time. A lot of them had strong opinions about all the changes that were going on in SF. One older homeless guy was speaking to a "techie", "We made this happen for you." "I'm going to die over here." I lived in San Francisco two separate times in the past four years, and things have changed drastically. A lot of the old residents and artists have been forced to leave the city because of the high cost of living. Gentrification...
I've been so worried to make a "shitty" painting that I don't make any. I've allowed my fear of making art to take over for too long. I've reached my breaking point. I came to the realization that I will not be able to make an awesome painting without making a whole lot of shitty paintings. So here I go...no control z...just mineral spirits!
