Bruce Chao on 9th St
Bruce Chao was a glass/conceptual artist from the 70's thru the '90s. He taught at RISD. No idea what he's up to now.
From the Delightful 9 San Bruno
...been through the wash. I'm hoping that this photo will be sufficient proof of transit for Petty Cash. Who loves ya, Martha? Oooh, we missed you!

Pride Mural
This intersection needs a crosswalk. For some reason, the City of Oakland doesn't want there to be one there. They've been petitioned to install a crosswalk there, but have refused. A couple months ago, anonymous citizens painted a crosswalk here on their own. It was awesome, and it did the trick, but after a few weeks, the city came and painted black over it.
I'd like to submit a proposal for a mural for DowntownLakeMerritt · Neighborhood Group, Oakland CA
As it's not actually a crosswalk (crosswalks are white on black,
everybody knows that) perhaps the city would allow it to remain.
Additionally, as the mural represents gay pride, removing or defacing it
could be construed as a hate crime.
Just a thought.

Po
Cerina has noticed that there are no Polar Bear Pokemon, so she designed one for me to crochet. At least I think that's what's going on.
I think it says...
"scanned all all (el)"
but I don't know what it means. I could venture a guess that it's about surveillance society, but perhaps that's more me than the author of this work..

Sales Pitch
This revolting document came to me in the mail yesterday. Conde Nast Publishing has a new magazine for executives called "Portfolio". This is how they're selling it.
