One of the (victimless) tragedies of the Mission Market building was the tearing down of the replica of the Mission’s first mural and Jet Martinez‘ Amate Mission. But like a unicorn rising from the ashes, Jet brought us a new piece for Bartlett.   From Jet: The concept of “Unicornio de la Misiòn,” at Bartlett and 22nd, is a continuation of Jet Martinez’s work inspired by Mexican folk art forms. In this piece, the floral work will be reminiscent and inspired by enameled … →
