Looking closer at San Francisco's Pier 70 and Dogpatch neighborhoods through illustration. With an eye to guiding future development, Forest City asked me to document the area's history, community, and culture. After a month of sketching and interviewing, the resulting story brings together my drawings and the words of area people. It was published online, displayed as an installation in WineWorks in Dogpatch, and an excerpt was published by the literary journal Zyzzyva (Winter, 2012).
