Market Street Comics


Today was the perfect day to photograph Briana Miller and Thien Pham's comic book posters on Market Street. San Francisco Arts Commission has a program of showing art on these triangular kiosks that stand near bus stops along downtown Market Street. Two sides of the kiosks have advertisements that probably pay for this project and one side has artwork that rotates several times a year. In a Chronicle article, Briana is quoted as saying that this is a palindromic comic - it can be read forward or backward. These two artists are friends who teach at the same high school and have a graphic design business on the side. It was brilliant and cool downtown - a great day to be walking and taking photographs.
