Spoke Art and 1xRUN have teamed up for this very special release of Jessica Hess' "Bayview II"
"My roommate spotted the graffiti from Caltrain on his morning commute to work. He thought it would provide some good subject matter for me and brought me out to the the spot he saw from the train, in Bayview. It's pretty gross under the tracks there and it is a sketchy part of town so I am glad he tagged along. I always remove trash and cars from my paintings. There were a lot of homeless camps around there. Luckily we didn't get chased by crackheads this time. Ha. I took a hundred or so photos then we went to eat BBQ. Two months later I had this lovely painting. That's the story." - Jessica Hess
