Info posted by Upper Playground:

"Revolution is all around us...without revolution we would not be here, the smallest things people take for granted." Sean Stewart founded Babylon Falling, a bookstore devoted to all things revolutionary.

Celebrating change and revolution in all of its aspects, Babylon Falling features over 3,000 titles, spanning history/theory of revolution to literature and graphic novels. After two years as a breeding ground for aspiring activists, Babylon Falling is shutting its doors at the end of June. If you haven’t been to the store yet, or even if you have, be sure to say farewell – Babylon Falling has secured its place in the dialogue of change..."

JESSE HERNANDEZ SIGNING TOUR @ KRSF

Professional Photographer and a very good friend of mine, Francis Ramos, attended the Jesse Hernandez Signing Tour event at KRSF and took a bunch of quality pictures in the process. From what I've seen(always), Jesse Hernandez has a very strong following in his hometown of San Francisco. The event drew crowds of people waiting to not only pick up his newly released 8" Jaguar Warrior Dunny but to also get an opportunity for a friendly meet and great. I've talked to Jesse on numerous occasions and he's one of the coolest and most down to earth artists out there. Check the slideshow below for complete coverage of this event... Thanks Francis!!!
