To celebrate 100 years of San Francisco City Hall, the San Francisco Arts Commission has commissioned 100 drawings by internationally renowned local artist and my bro Jeremy Fish. His exhibition titled “O Glorious City” opened last night. The title comes from a text written by former San Francisco Mayor Edward Robeson Taylor inscribed in the rotunda of City Hall: San Francisco, O glorious city of our hearts that has been tried and not found wanting, go thou with like spirit to make the future thine. Jeremy is the first ever Artist in Residence at San Francisco City Hall and has came along way since the days of trading me art at Think for some web help.
