Adrian Covert‘s awesome depiction of the Mission, with your favorite park highlighted. I’ve spent a lot of time drawing and painting the fronts of these buildings, but I like that in this piece most of the real buildings represented are depicted instead by their rooftops.
You can pick up prints at Fayes Video or Serendipity.
not to be a pooper, but where is 19th west of the park?
Not to be a smart ass, But isnt that 19th arcing out of the center of the park near the red brick building across from the park? If you follow the little center area in the park down it reaches the left hand corner of the fire place loking emblem at the bottom.
fortitude said west of the park. not east.
i dig the artwork.
i dig it too, but that cumberland and hancock, not 19th.
This is super cool – the even saturation of colors is very soothing. I want one!

That’d be the Official Seal of the City and County of San Francisco.
I know what it is. Not everyone else may, so ill call it something that anyone can recognize.
Actually, it’s not quite the seal of the city. The official seal includes a miner, explorer, and coast line. I took that and amended it to create a uniquely Mission seal, with an explorer, an Ohlone native American, and Mission Dolores, along with the traditional phoenix rising from flames. I’m glad you like it!
Adrian I’m trying to reach you, your number is not working. Lisa at Serendipity!
I don’t get it. It looks like a bored game. Emphasis on bored.
Fuck the mission, there’s an entire world out there.
This just got deep.
And that comment would be relevant anywhere in real life and on any site on the World Wide Web other than “Mission Mission”.
I’m really happy (most of you) like it. I apologize for the omission of Mission Street, but I was just really interested in drawing the area immediately surrounding Dolores Park, and Mission Street really requires a poster entirely of it’s own.
The precision with which Latino residences have been cut from this depiction is almost surgical. I commend the demographic consistency of this particular view.
“Latino residences”?
I am personally concerned by the way the wealthy residences of Noe Valley and the Castro have been reduced to a cookie-cutter regularity. I wish to imply that this post has some kind of radical “class war” bias against those who have been hard working enough to gain early stock options from Google and its ilk.
Oh wait, this is a print of the area immediately surrounding the park. An artists representation you say? Well hmmph, my agenda involves shrilly decrying communism on neighborhood blogs!
Comg: yeah, I’m not exactly sure what that guys is talking about. Maybe suggesting some sort of collaboration between the artist and census-takers?
more like map of the most expensive and gentrified part of the mission. Mission street isn’t even on here.
…I still want it though.
Looks like a 70′s schoolhouse rock Saturday morning cartoon about to happen. Love it!
