Comic Strip Steet Art by Tito na Rua

Tito na Rua mural at Clarion Alley, SF

International street artist Alberto “Tito na Rua” Serrano  paid a visit to San Franciso’s Clarion Alley this week. Serrano was born in the Bronx and now lives in Rio de Janeiro with his family. I exhibited next to him at Image Expo and we talked about public art in Brazillian favelas, comics, and second languages.  This marks his latest in a series of narrative murals about a man’s search for lost love. Here’s video of Tito speaking about his work as part of the Rooftops Legends 2011 series:
