If you're a San Franciscan and you've seen TheLast Black Man in San Francisco, at least one of the film's sentiments struck a chord: "You don't get to hate [San Francisco] unless you love it."

From her home/studio in the Outer Sunset, artist Leah Jachimowicz finds inspiration in this very conflict, a love/hate relationship with our changing and controversial hometown, letting it guide the whimsical art and cheeky taglines ("You're worth the parking ticket" and "I left my heart, my wallet, and my phone in San Francisco") for her custom letterpress greeting cards.

Jachimowicz's company, Coffee n Cream Press, specializes in the art of old school printing technique using photopolymer plates and a flat-bed Vandercook Press, and even offers workshops to the crafty local types who wish to learn it and make their own personalized cards.

Trained as a fine artist, Jachimowicz creates all one-of-a-kind work. You can visit her studio, see her process, and purchase her work at Weekend Two of ArtSpan's Open Studios, October 19-20.
