Tunnels!
I love tunnels. From the Paris catacombs to the New York subways, I've painted lots. But my favorite tunnels are right here in San Francisco. These first two photos were taken in 1996 by my friend Chris Woodcock in the Muni tunnels between Church Street and Van Ness Station.
This tunnel used to see a lot of action. Now it's just grey and the city works hard to keep it that way.
A 5-minute walk away is my other favorite, the Dubose Tunnel. The first time I painted in San Francisco was in this tunnel with Sope and Joker. Mr. Woodcock caught this shot in 2001.
