A man sits underneath a cardboard box in the Tenderloin neighborhood. Layered over the top is the word Vulgar in red graffiti. America is a vulgar place of misplaced priorities.

A T-shirt design in color, two images combined. The first is a view of apartment buildings with the flag of Vietnam flying. The second laid on top of it was taken of a cityscape in District 5.

A split image in high contrast black and white, the top being street art of a dragon painted alongside the face of the statue of liberty, adjacent to a window display showing an American flag. The bottom image shows a line of police cars.

An image from a graffiti covered bathroom stall layer on top of a stern man in black and white. A band of white crosses the image covering the man's eyes with the words "silence your critics."

Blurred image of a woman clutching a black satchel with reflections in a window all in muted colors, accompanied by the words "In a long enough timeline all who've disagreed become antifia." Meant to be a comment about how political parties will eventually try to make enemies of anyone who disagrees going so far as to label them part of some nebulous organization.

Agreed on the alcohol. When I went to goth clubs in Chicago (Neo!) I didn't drink and nobody cared, people are going for atmosphere, surroundings and people.

On a street at night, a man in his wheelchair stares forward where a overhead light illuminates what looks like a cross, but is the top of a door frame and a tree trunk. Cars move by in the street adding movement

Image from the Ao Dai festival in Little Saigon, Tenderloin neighborhood in San Francisco where a man stands holding up his bicycle watching a Vietnamese dragon costume and on the right is another individual in good spirits with many tattoos. Walking directly between them is a Vietnamese woman.
