Ever since the SF Bay Guardian's graphic feature on Aaron Swartz, I've been wanting to do an illustrative series about San Francisco life. Our streets issue presented the perfect medium.
I had to wrestle with the writer a bit to keep these concepts relevant to San Francisco life, instead of this feature purely being an excuse to put "Star Wars" and "Back to the Future" references in the paper. The final result, I hope, paints a humorous picture of a dystopian San Francisco that is somewhat foreseeable ... with "Star Wars" and "Back to the Future" references. Bonus!
