San Francisco's Castro Station has new signs.
They look nothing like the old Muni transit signs, and that's the point. The yellow and blue signs are part of a project to create a coordinated system of maps, signs, and standards across the 27 transit agencies of the nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Instead of trying to merge agencies or complicate things further with an umbrella brand, the focus is on the service.
The monolithic new sign indicates that Castro is a train (subway) station where you can catch the KLM lines. We've already got a universal fare system in Clipper, which agency runs the KLM lines isn't that important as long as they get you where you want.

Twin Peaks Neon, Acrylic on panel, 24"x18"
The historic Twin Peaks Tavern anchors the corner of 17th and Market, known for being the first gay bar with full length wrap around windows, starting in 1972, allowing the patrons to look out and the public to look in. It reminds us not to hide who we are, and to stand for our rights to take up space and be visible.
I love how this sign depicts the nearby hills and the rolling fog, with the letters glowing pink. From the plaza you can see Twin Peaks, Hot Cookie, and the Castro blade sign all in a row. The most satisfying part of this to paint was the rainbow flags getting just a little light from the row of string lights down in the bottom right corner.
This is part of my upcoming exhibition BEACONS at Queer Arts Featured, opening February 6!

Today we're celebrating Harvey Milk!!
Born on May 22nd, 1930 in Woodmere, New York, Harvey was a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and one of the first to be openly Gay Politicians.
Dubbed "The Mayor of Castro Street," Harvey fought against the discrimination of gay individuals, worked along side the Teamsters to help boycott Coors when they refused to sign the Union Contract, and was in favor of legalizing marijuana amongst many other issues.
A pioneer in American Gay Politics, we pay tribute and remember his contribution to our work towards Equality for everyone.
