Sirron Norris Unveils Beautiful New Mural at Calumet Photographic

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Sirron Norris has been plugging away at these two giant walls outside of Calument Photographic on the corner of 18th and Bryant for a solid month now.  But now he's all wrapped up, the scaffolding has been torn down, and we can finally get a look of “Picturesoteric.”

Pictures will never do a mural this massive justice, but you can click either pano to blow them up nice and big.  And here're a few close-up shots:

Is Sirron Norris Not an Artist?

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

A bunch of Sirron Norris' murals around 20th and Bryant were destroyed over the weekend, with one shitty tag claiming his work “is not art.”

Mission Local emailed Norris about it and got this back:

“At this point, I don’t much care — nothing is safe anymore. It doesn’t matter if you write graffiti or paint a youth-based or community-based mural — it’s all up for grabs in this very disrespectful world we now live in. These kids, just like the Internet, have these anonymous passive-aggressive ways of being cruel and it sucks. But I accept it, and as an adult of 39 years, I can’t go around battling little kids.”

Yup. It has most certainly been a bad year for Mission murals.

Rad New Sirron Norris Mural In Bougie New Taco Shop

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Up until last week, Parkmerced was known for absolutely nothing.  It's still known for nothing, but now it's home to Taco Libre, the latest venture from Nombe chef Vincent Schofield, which apparently means something to foodies.  And while I'm certain I'll never bike out there and navigate through the resident rat population, the interior murals by Sirron Norris sure are fine.
