Seen these cool faces installed around the neighborhood. Artist unknown. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti #StreetArt

A stylized face that appears to be made of bronze, but on closer inspection is probably clay with a copper paint and ink wash on top. The face has been stuck to a traffic light. It almost looks like an ancient relic.

A stylized face that appears to be made of bronze, but on closer inspection is probably clay with a copper paint and ink wash on top. It's been attached to a red street box on the sidewalk. Unrelated graffiti above the sculpture says "fuck zionism" in a quick hand drawn font.

Spotted this record-themed mosaic in a corner near Clarion Alley. Artist unknown, but I love unusual graffiti like this. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti

A small mosaic plastered to a wall using concrete. The mosaic looks like a round black record, with a small yellow label in the center and white lines representing vinyl grooves going around the black parts. There's also a spindle in the center.

Wheatpasted art by Harry Nordlinger spotted on 16th St. Each piece appears to be hand painted in acrylic. I don't know who did the monkey graffiti, but it's pretty neat too. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti #Wheatpaste

A portrait of a woman painted in black acrylic paint onto paper that has been wheatpasted to a wall. She appears to be looking at the viewer. The drawing is somewhat comic book/cartoony.

A wall with some spray paint graffiti and several wheatpasted posters on it. The graffiti looks like a drawing of a monkey's head with a halo over it's head and a signature I can't read. The three wheatpaste posters are large portraits of women that are painted in a black acrylic paint.

Monoprint by Harry Nordlinger, spotted near 16th and Mission. I believe this was created by painting directly onto gel, then placing the USPS label directly on top to create a limited number of prints. #SFGraffiti

I've been spotting these fabric tags around the neighborhood. Looks like they were printed using a hand cut rubber stamp. I really dig the style. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti #ReliefPrint

A small piece of fabric with art printed on it. Text on the fabric says "Defend your neighbors" and shows a rifle and a shovel. The art is printed using a relief printing method (like a stamp or a linocut).
The fabric has been stapled to a telephone pole.

So much interesting art on this mailbox. Particularly fascinated by the alien writing on one side, but the nude portrait is pretty cool too. Spotted on Capp St near 16th.

A green USPS mailbox bolted to the sidewalk on Capp. It's covered with many distinct graffiti pieces including a cartoony style drawing of a dog.

A close up of graffiti on a mailbox. I can't read any of it, but I think that's because it's a made up language. It looks like gibberish, but with nods to egyptian hieroglyphs. Text on top does seem to say "Exlaris", which could be the artist's name. I might be misreading that.

A drawing of a nude woman, facing away from the viewer. The drawing is made with pink paint pens on a green USPS mail box. It's unusually detailed and shaded for graffiti.

Maybe Later and Guez pieces, spotted on 18th Street near Dolores. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti #Guez #MaybeLater

Two graffiti tags on adjacent walls. One shows a sort of scary clown-like face. Text nearby says "Can't you hear me?". To the right of this piece is a painting of a bulldog's face. This is done by an artist named Guez and has a distinct style that is in all of Guez's pieces.

Spotted this Maybe Later piece on a rooftop near Clarion Alley today. Not sure if it's new or not, but I'm always happy to see new #MaybeLater tags in the neighborhood. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti

A close up view of a graffiti piece by Maybe Later. The piece is on a wall a couple floors up. It is in Maybe Later's usual colors (black, green, yellow, red, and blue) and shows some of ML's usual iconography (smiling faces, cracked skulls). Text on the piece says "Home" and includes tributes to other local graffiti writers.

A shot of the same Maybe Later graffiti piece, but from further away. You can see the businesses and street below the tag. The tag appears to be about 5 feet wall and 4 feet tall.

Tags by Uze Me, a bay artist known for drawing this topless character. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti #UzeMe

A black and white graffiti tag by Uze Me. Instead of tagging their name, the tag shows their graffiti character, who appears to be a topless woman with a big flop of curly hair on their face and somewhat confused (or maybe embarrassed) look on their face. Though the character is topless, she always poses with her arms crossed in front of her chest. The tag is very tall, completely covering a door on the side of a building.

Another tag by Uze Me. This one is higher up on a red brick building. It shows Uze Me's topless character in black and white spray paint. This piece appears to be about 5 feet tall.

A one color tag by Uze Me, showing their topless graffiti character (a drawing of a woman with big curly hair and her arms crossed in front of her bare chest). There's another tag on the same wall that is hard to read. It looks like it says "behaver" in a San Francisco Bus Flow style.

A one color tag by Uze Me, showing their topless character, but this one also has a tag that says "Uze Me" in graffiti style font.

Crow on 15th street. Artist unknown, but the tag on the left is by Sucket. Maybe it’s a collab? #Sucket #SFGraffiti #graffiti

A sheet of plywood against a wall. Graffiti artists have tagged it with black spray paint. One artist painted a crow’s head on the wall. They held the aerosol spray close to the wall and at a 90 degree angle, creating a line that is crisp on one side and a long fade on the other. This gives the crow art a feel of depth and shading.

A flier on a post in a city corner. The flier says "Got tagged? Get it covered today!" and is promoting a cleaning service that cleans up graffiti. The flier itself has been tagged. The graffiti name is unreadable, but they also covered the contact info for the person who posted the flier.

In November 2025, new owners buffed over the Valencia Art Wall (aka the Free Speech Wall) between 23rd and 24th. Each time a new coat of paint went up, the SF Poster Syndicate showed up with a fresh batch of posters. The building owners gave up after a week. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti

A wall outside of an old police station on Valencia St. The wall has been freshly coated a dull brown, but poster artists showed up and covered the whole thing up with political posters. There are 5 different posters that get repeated over the wall, each was silkscreened by the SF Poster Syndicate.

A detailed view of one of the posters, with black and white art silkscreened on it stating "No ICE goons in our cities" and a drawing of a man holding a sign that says "ICE out of the Bay"

Follow up to a recent post of mine. Some e tried destroying Maybe a Later’s newest art piece on Valencia. #SFGraffiti #graffiti #SanFrancisco #MissionDistrict

Someone used blue paint to cover up a mural on Valencia street that says “education not deportation”. In this close up photo we can see they gave up or ran out of blue paint.

A wall with a mural that says “education not deportation”. Someone tried painting blue on the mural to cover it up and that same person wrote “fuck CCP” under the mural.

"Education not deportation" on Valencia and 23rd St. Street art by Maybe Later. #SFGraffiti #Graffiti #MaybeLater

Art on the side of the building that says "Education not deportation" in brightly colored letters. The art is large and high up on the side of the school (which is currently closed for remodelling). The art is in the colors and styles commonly used by Maybe Later, a local graffiti artist. This isn't an officially approved mural, but it looks very professional, as if a sign painter made it.

I've been spotting these weird little butterfly creatures around the neighborhood. Stencils, wheat paste, squeeze bottle paint, etc. No idea who the artist is, but I love them. What do you think the creature is? #SFGraffiti #Graffiti #Stencil

Graffiti on the sidewalk that represents a winged creature looking at the viewer. Sort of like a butterfly, or maybe a dragon. It is painted on the ground using a glue that was squeezed out of a tube. So it dried shiney and puffs off the surface.

A sticker showing the same butterfly creature. The art is painted directly onto the sticker using red paint.

I spotted these weird little cards around the neighborhood. Some sort of art project. Really cool painted lines on old photos, with stamped info on the back. Could be an art project, could be a marketing stunt. I'm never gonna call the number on the back, but […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

Another black and white photo with red paint on it. The paint is abstract lines that cover the photo. This is taped to a post on a sidewalk.

A black and white photo of a man. The photo looks old, like a yearbook photo from the 50s. There is yellow paint covering the photo and making a series of abstract lines.

Three of these cards on the floor. Two are flipped, so you can see the text on the back. The art on the back is slightly different for each card, but they both have a calligraphic "B" drawn on them and text that says "Please. No matter what you do. No matter who tries to convince you. Please. We beg you. For all that is sacred. Do not even consider for a second to call this number you see in front of you. 3474701449". The text appears to be stamped on by hand.
