The 36-Teresita

Muni rider Roman Scanlon joins the list of purveyors of Muni art. Here’s his spiel:

“I recently started working on a photo book of San Francisco and realized how much I like public transportation (believe it or not). Having lived here for over 7 years and never utilizing it, I decided to become more SF-ish and try it out. Here are a couple Illustrations/pop art of the underground (Forrest Hill Station) and the 36 (Teresita Bus).”

Welcome, Roman. We look forward to seeing more of your wares.

Hello, Mr. Chunky Monkey on the bus. Dogs on Muni always brings a smile to my face (yes muzzles blahblah fleas blahblah I know). I can’t help myself. Here are three adorable animal friends riding the bus around town. Not pictured: me making ridiculous baby-talk cooing noises at these poor unsuspecting pets.

Happy weekend!

Muni Missed Connection: What are you reading, hot guy?

Reading is sexy. I mean, you’re doing it right now. You’re sexy.

But bacon meets hotdog has cast a line.

this hot guy on muni is probably foreign (he has weird tennis shoes).

perhaps he’s reading some book that gives him a snapshot of american life and culture? his pouty lips say “i’m not impressed.” a man after my own heart!

hot guys on muni have been sparse lately. mostly because the damn munis are so packed i can’t get decent shots.

Hot guys on Muni, where have you gone?

Also, what’s up, flipflops girl with feet on the seat?

What it’s like to draw people on Muni

Hella people draw their fellow Muni passengers. It’s good practice, and lord knows there’s never a dearth of interesting characters on the bus.

Muni rider Avner shares the unique perspective of how those people react to being “drawn on Muni.”

“My name is Avner Geller. I am an artist living in San Francisco and working in the animation industry. I take the muni to work every day, and usually sketch the different passengers. People often ask me how do people react if they catch me…I made this little clip as an answer to how it feels.”

Thanks, Avner!

So, have you ever knowingly been drawn drawn on Muni? How did you react?
