Some new art popped up on the side of Underground SF at 424 Haight Street yesterday.
The mural depicts a skeleton clutching what appears to be its own heart. It's a creation by Austrian street artist Nychos, whose graphic anatomical subject matter has origins in his childhood. As is described on Nychos' Facebook page:
Upper Playground posted some photos of Nychos creating the new mural on its Facebook page:
This is the second mural that Nychos has finished in San Francisco in the past week. The first, an x-ray of a wolf, appeared last weekend at the corner of Haight and Ashbury.
Not coincidentally, Nychos has a new show opening at Fifty24SF this Friday, April 18th. Dubbed "Street Anatomy," it will be the artist's first solo exhibit on the West Coast. The opening reception starts at 7pm this Friday at 218 Fillmore Street.

"Born into an Austrian hunters family, he saw, at a very young age, things which normal people would consider as cruel and brutal. He quickly got used to death and any other brutalities of nature. His mind never took it as something disgusting. Rather he started to see some beauty in those ugly things."
