“Spray Area”: The Evolution of Airbrushing in the Bay Airbrushing once offered local artists a full-time income; nowadays, it’s mostly a creative side hustle that recalls a nostalgic past. Here’s what the remaining artists have to say about it.

Alan traces the evolution of Bay Area airbrushing through three generations of artists: from a decades-long flea market vendor to Deandre "Airballin" Drake, painter of Formula 1 cars and Playboy bunnies. www.coyotemedia.org/spray-area-t...

‘A Creator’s Dream’: Inside the SF Studio Building a Hub for Low-Income Artists Hospitality House has purchased a mid-Market building that contains the nonprofit’s fine art studio — securing its future forever.

After years of fundraising, @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social has purchased the 3-story, mid-Market building housing its fine art studio. For artists like SupremeRivi11, the space provides community — but also art supplies and a gallery, things in short supply for low-income San Franciscans.

Oakland, I’ve finally returned from my long-term side quest in search of the “there” in “there’s no there there”

Results: “There” is in us, not on us.

TAG YOURSELF which Coyote are you? And while you're at it, join us at @coyotemedia.org and support our new org. The rewards are fun, and if you get a nature walk I might teach you about seaweed foraging or lichen identification!

Right now I'm 3 but in photos I'm always somehow 1.
