Dias de Los Muertos in the Mission, San Francisco


This is terrible and am living in San Francisco's Mission District but have never been to a Dias de Los Muertos public festival held every year just blocks away. SO this year, keeping it on my calendar crossed paths with my illustration inspiration and this is something from observations of characters around the Mission in shops and murals and more places.

The basic idea is fill in the guestbook or wall posts and leave the urls to your shop and twitter. Others will contact with you making an introduction they saw your information at squidoo or facebook, too.
