All That Glitters is an homage to the dreamers and schemers that make the Bay Area unique. San Francisco artist Kaytea Petro uses a homemade hibiscus ink to illustrate historic photos, lovingly depicting a bygone era. More of her work can be seen at kayteapetro.com or on her Instagram.
All the the writings were created by students at Ruth Asawa School of the Arts. Many of the source photos used to create the drawings come from the San Francisco Public Library’s Photo Collection.

1There once was a group quite hippieBeatniks loved getting real trippyTill North Beach residents formed a committeeAnd told police to kick them out in a jiffy.
2Rainbow illusionsCaused by the warm smokey hazeOh, beatnick parties!
Sweet fragrance of potCausing smokey grey hazeA vibrant escape
