Description
George Crampton Glassanos says he isn't an artist, he's a painter. Despite this assertion, his work is full of eye-catching colors and symbols representative of San Francisco's Mission district culture.

Then he took us on a short ride to see a few of his hand painted signs and murals— his work.
