Oakland, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boo-yeah. Take that, Orlando.
After a while you sorta’ get used to seeing hippy buses in Berkeley that are covered in murals and bikes. But this was in Oakland so…OK, actually still used to it. I live in a pretty special place.
Had to take this pic for my mom: this display at the Oakland Museum had an outfit that Janis Joplin wore on one of her album covers. This is from their exhibit on stuff that happened in 1968.
This graf-covered building on MLK is frequently changing. Got a few pics of this new mural, because I’ve been looking for a DJ-themed piece to use as the background for my hip-hop radio stream.
Not sure how this started, but at the Mama Buzz cafe on Broadway, they frame up napkin doodles. They get some nice stuff, as you can from this sample. Such good stuff, I can hardly pick a favorite.
“End racist violence” mural in process on MLK Drive in Oakland. This is on the side of a commune in Pill Hill (between Macarthur and 40th). They have a big garden and a whole room full of free stuff.
Those Oakland streets. I love the way the saturation of colors in this photo makes it look like a painting.
