Sarah Black of Bannock Street Press recently sent me this "graffiti" flash by Tim Jones-Yelvington. She writes, "I really love Tim's story, such a tiny perfect story. I'd been photographing the graf in Freak Alley for illustrations for one of the books, and asked Tim if I could put his up as sort of an add for the press. But once I had it up, I felt like I didn't want to use it for commercial purposes, but wanted to just put it out there in the world."
"Several groups watched me paint it—a group of teenagers, a couple of the Greek cooks, and a blonde waitress. The cooks and waitress came out so often and stood around I thought they were going for their dope, hidden in the alley—but then I realized they were reading it!"
