Can anyone tell me where any of these are specifically in SF? I'm planning a visit there soon and I'd love to see them in the flesh.

Nice compilation! You might get some ideas at the flickr "streetsy" group persephone. http://www.flickr.com/groups/streetsy/ If you join the group you could get some pointers from the members on the discussion board.

most of those are located in the mission i believe. there is a great alley full of amazing stencils/murals located in the mission near valencia i think it is (it may be near 19th though). i remember it's near this great shoe store and good vibrations. also the castro and the haight have sweet murals as well. my favorite city. oh, and when you visit don't forget to pop into 826 valencia to check out the pirate store/writing workshop and taqueria cancun on 19th and mission (best burritos EVER).

There is a bit with a bike going through sand, it is a HUGE portrait painted on the entrance to the downtown subway for the streetcar lines N and J, I spent the first seventeen years of my life there and though I haven't even been gone half a decade seeing some of those images made me well up a bit.

Quite a bit of it looks like it's around schools.
