Oakland #12
Joshua Mays’ mural, Beacon Frequency Reader, is almost 10 stories high on the North wall of 1700 Broadway, so if you’re walking up from 15th street it’s easy to miss. However, if you’re coming from 19th Street, this painting stands out like, well, a beacon. Mays is a self-taught painter, muralist, and illustrator based in Oakland. With sponsorship from Athen B Gallery, this mural went up in 2017 and got some well-deserved press from SF Weekly in March 2019. According to SF Weekly’s reporting, the staff the subject holds has mystical powers of “frequency reading,” as Mays calls it. Mays tells SF Weekly, “The placement of the mural, and this figure being right there — at the 19th and Broadway BART stop, she’s right there — the story in my head is that she’s opening a portal into a new realm, to new experiences, or for those who engage her.”`Johanna Flashman

CCA Oakland Campus
April, 2012
I always meant to get a photo of myself in front of this mural, I never imagined it would be covered up before I got around to it. This is the only photo I have of it I took myself, it’s just an old camera phone pic but I still love it.

Pontiac Illinois Surprises
There is more to Pontiac, Illinois than just Route 66! Labor Day weekend I was in downtown Pontiac playing tourist with friends Annie and Kelli. We took a few mornings out from the Central States Thresherman show to see what downtown Pontiac had to offer. We were pleasantly surprised! The show was our annual Graham Bradley get together. Group of Graham Bradley tractors There was a nice array…

there are pink magnolia trees blooming in yards, and bright white and yellow daffodils shooting up from cracks in the sidewalk, in Oakland, and murals by locals all across the city, and there really just is so much beauty out here to behold and sustain us

Dragons! Dragons! Dragons!
My Year of the Dragon mail art piece has been going around the world. And I have been receiving mail art celebrating the Lunar New Year as well.
Fleur Helsingor has incorporated an Oakland mural into her piece.
Sabela Baña sent a very happy looking dragon card.
Gina Visione created a very regal looking dragon.
Jennie Hinchcliff did a commemorative artist stamp sheet.
R.F. Côté’s latest issue of Circulaire 132 features the set of dragons I mailed off to Québec.   
Ryosuke Cohen newest Brain Cell has my dragon in the mix as well.
I anticipate a few more dragons will be arriving in my P.O. box soon.

I’ve begun to feel that my #Mk2 #Supra feels like a big, bossier, grown up #Hachiroku #AE86. Even the styling is an extension of the #Corolla. I never even considered that to be possible before owning one. With the #Mk3’s I’ve had before it felt more like a luxury #JDM #GT highway cruiser, but never any trace of younger #Toyota siblings. Thanks for the #Oakland #oldschool #JDM history lesson today @oldskool_lyfe. May this mural live on forever. 🍻 www.renownusa.com (at Performance Options) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHzkCpLFQD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
