Tipster Sean C. has clued us in to a traumatic accident that's befallen local artist Deb, as well as a way to help her out. 

On Thursday, September 29th, a hundred pound weight fell onto Deb's head in what's being described as a freak accident, causing a severe concussion and head trauma which required multiple staples. "Ultimately [Deb] is unbelievably lucky to be alive with such an impact with no brain damage or damage to her spine or skull," according to the an online fundraising campaign launched to help cover the artist's medical bills and recovery. 

According to the fundraiser, Deb's injuries will take weeks to heal; people who've been touched by her artwork can contribute towards her recovery fund here.

On Thursday night 100 cute pounds of metal, fell on my head from very high. 🤕👱🏼‍♀️It must have been marked as ACME ⚠️ because I have learned I am a CARTOON👩to survive that impact. NO ones fault.. Freak accident.. I bled everywhere. I lost a lot of blood. I was rushed to hospital where I spend a scary 7 hours in ER not knowing wtf was going on. Had a brain scan.. Concussed out of my head had my head stapled. 💁🏼5 days later I still have a lot of pain. I still have concussion (it's a party) and have been told my concussion will last for weeks. 🎊But I'm SO lucky🍀 to be here writing this. ☀️I go from being overly exited to overly emotional and breaking. I'm having nightmares. (Apparently a common symptom) I will be OK is the good news, but I have weeks of getting back on track healing and dealing with concussion and going to be hard to work properly while I'm healing. Yesterday my entire Left eye BLEW up + closed over and dropped sideways. 👀 I went back to ER. Had another cat scan. 🦄 I had so much swelling in my head that gravity was pulling it down my face. 🙄It was scary. I feel like I am on a bad acid trip 👽 that I want to stop and have to stay calm as my anxiety is up there🌡I am going to be OK 🌹so long as I let my body mend and heal over the next few weeks or how ever long this takes. I tried to go to the corner store today but my legs felt like jelly + I start getting anxious.. It will get better. 🙌I know this photo is freaky but I think there is a miracle in that my blood stain🌹 has formed a perfect hibiscus flower🌺 that matched my dress. I was also wearing a hat at the time and I am convinced it saved me. 👒This is going to be a very frustrating next few weeks and I have a lot of bills 1 to hope to renue my Art VISA and pay my rent and eat so my close friends have set me up a GO FUND ME page. 🙏 I would appreciate any contribution to that of any kind at all. I didn't want to ask for help at first but now that I know it will be this frustrating experience to get back to myself again, I am giving into asking for some help so I can focus on healing only. I'm so thankful I got this life line thrown at me. 🌺🍀🌺(((GO FUND ME link is on my home page)))))

Locals will recognize Deb's colorful murals around town, most recently with the Castro's "Love is Love" mural, which was painted as one man's marriage proposal surprise for his boyfriend (he said yes). She also recently completed artwork for 1AM Gallery in SoMa and Free Gold Watch in the Haight, and you'll likely notice more of her female-powered murals around town.
