A bit of history about those famous San Francisco landmark: (cc’d from their Instagram)

The first Doggie Diner was opened on Oakland's San Pablo Avenue in 1948 and grew in popularity. At one time there were 30 locations around the San Francisco Bay Area, mostly concentrated in San Francisco. The chain was sold to Ogden Corporation around 1969. They sold french fries, hamburgers, hot dogs, and sodas. The chain's advertising jingle was: “Doggie diner, nothin’ finer. Doggie Diner, it’s doggone good!”.

The most notable feature of the Doggie Diner chain was the sign: a 7-foot-tall (2.1 m) rotating fiberglass head of a wide-eyed, grinning dachshund, wearing a bow tie and chef's hat. These famous dog head signs were designed in 1965 or 1966 by Bay Area billboard and ad layout designer Harold Bachman. Each dog head weighs 300 lbs.

After the Doggie Diner went out of business, all the large dog head signs were taken down and many were resold to private parties. In 2001, one of the dog signs, restored and refurbished by the city of San Francisco, was installed on a median strip at Sloat Boulevard and 45th Avenue, near San Francisco's Ocean Beach and the San Francisco Zoo in the Outer Sunset neighborhood. The Doggie Diner dog head became San Francisco landmark No. 254 on August 11, 2006.

🔁 @rachel.z.art

🤣If only I had a dollar every time someone asked me “So… When are they starting to paint these murals?” as if I wasn’t CURRENTLY PAINTING the base layers. 😂 They must have thought I was just a hired-hand to paint the boring parts, and some fancier artist-type would come lay out the fancy parts, lol. But that’s the truth about this sort of work… it’s HARD WORK. Like, I’m EXHAUSTED already and my arms are so sore but I have to keep at it all week long! It’s not glamorous but it IS amazing work, if you build in enough body breaks and rests and have enough helpers… which reminds me: ANYONE want to come help me paint this week? 😬🙏🏼🌈 @paintthevoidproject @illuminatethearts @sfrecpark @conservatoryofflowers @aicd.sf

Who is public space for and how can public art act

Who is public space for and how can public art activate it?

In school I studied cultural anthropology, specifically the intersections of public art and culture. In the US, being a new-ish country, cars have had priority in our public space design.

I’m always excited to see projects pop up that turn that notion on its head and put people first. And it’s AN ABSOLUTE HONOR to be invited to bring my art into a project that does just that 🙏🏻

This is the #GoldenMileProject in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, where a roadway is being transformed into a public promenade for walkers, runners, cyclists, strollers, dog walker, skate boards, scooters, friends and families to enjoy 24/7!

Thank you to my friends at @illuminatethearts and @paintthevoidproject for the opportunity to bring my art to help beautify the experience for all ✨
