Does the image above look familiar? It's by the talented San Francisco illustrator Wendy MacNaughton, who created it for Broke-Ass Stuart's story on The Bold Italic, Living in SF Means. If you loved the illustration and wished you could own it, here's some good news: It's now featured in an anthology of Wendy's work called Meanwhile in San Francisco, soon to be released on Chronicle Books.
Wendy's book is full of vibrant pen and watercolor images that all San Franciscans – new and old, native and transplant – can appreciate and relate to. She pays homage to Muni riders and drivers, the homeless who share our streets, the city's dogs and the people who walk them, the old timers who swim in the bay, Frank Chu, the San Francisco burrito, and so many other local communities and institutions. Bonus: The book jacket unfolds into an illustrated poster of the city that you'll wanna frame and hang on your wall.
Meanwhile in San Francisco is officially released on March 18, but you can pre-order a copy through Chronicle Books.
