He will never go hungry again
On the side of the high-rise at Steiner and Haight, southwest corner, Romanowski has started painting a beautiful, bright mural:
While I walked up to it and out of habit began taking snaps, the artist was doing ditto. We talked for a moment, and agreed that the site was perfect for a mural: the wall, next to some ramshackle steps, is only too easy prey for taggers. The strong colours of his mural fit in well with the neighbourhood, and the fish and icons representing local businesses form a subtle tribute.
