I found Niana Liu colorful maps of local SF neighborhoods at the Canvas Gallery at Lincoln and 19th, a laid-back cafe/bar cum gallery that's charming and colorful itself.

Here's a sampling of Niana's watercolors of local SF maps and a taste of her art work. If you know anything about the inner sunset or richmond, you know those pink grocery bags are ubiquitous, carrying fresh produce from small oriental markets. I have a love for maps, and her vibrant watercolors seem to underline what's signature.

Is it a little kitsch? Sure, but only if that's what you want to see. And for those that live in the scenery and sometimes need to strain to see the bright colors in the city blocks, well a little romanticization of the diurnal warms the soul. Sometimes it's good to play tourist in your own city.

You can find more at Niana's website: here. I couldn't find a digital clip of her "I heart SF way more" postcards---but they're my favorite. :)
