Oakland Layers: Process

After a lifetime in the Bay Area a dear high school friend of mine relocated to New York to pursue his calling at the New School's Graduate School of Journalism. His gentle charisma and inquiring mind leave the world changed in his wake, in both large and subtle ways, and I am proud to know him and support him as he moves toward making even bigger waves. He commissioned me to make an Oakland-centered art piece to take with him to his new (hopefully temporary) home.

Here are some of the process photos... Stay tuned for final product photos.
