Muni Art for Supervisor Eric Mar  

bus381
We had an inkling that Muni art can be really cool, and it turns out that Supervisor Eric Mar thought so too. The Richmond district supervisor recently commissioned artist Leslie Henslee, owner of Frankenartmart, to make a sculpture of the 38 Geary. She used materials from the ‘hood like Ocean Beach sand, Golden Gate Park parts, and Richmond haunts to make the sculpture:

Pretty awesome that she’s sourced these local materials! See more pictures of the Heslee’s 38-Geary or go to Frankenart’s website to find out more about her projects.

Thanks to rider Joey for the tip!
