Ghost sign for Boss of the Road work clothes exposed on 3rd Street in San Francisco's Bayview District during demolition for an expanded neighborhood library
The sign dates from before 1921, based on San Francisco Assessor's records for the demolished building
here's a 1928 shot of the street from the Jesse Brown Cook Collection at UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library

For museum goudA we were asked to redesign the torture exhibition in their cellar. And so we started to think how to make it more exciting and get kids to read the little signs next to the torture equipment. We've decided to make it an experience by putting al the information on the floor with UV-paint. In this way you can only see something when you put on the UV-flash light otherwise it is just a white floor. So you really have to go exploring and discover new things. All the info on the floor is hand drawn, even the text.
