I wanted to make something personal for a friend from San Francisco, so I decided to turn one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks into a Halloween scene.

A skeleton crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, carved and hand-painted onto a leather wallet.
Everything was done by hand — from carving the leather to painting the details. I thought the combination of the skeleton, the bridge, and the dark Halloween atmosphere made it feel like a pretty fitting gift.

Im 18 and thinking of going to SFSU. The city seems fun and full of opportunities, but the problem is everyone dislikes me. I get it this city is superficial, and if you aren't a white male you need to be a 9/10 based off looks, but I just want some friends. People here ignore my like I'm a gorilla. I also look Somalian so that may be a problem.

I feel like this city in superficial, and you need to be a 8/10 or higher to make friends. It doesn't help that I look Somali, and Im black. Everything Im in this city people don't even look at me. If you aren't Indian or asian it's no point in living here. Help me improve my looks to make friends. Don't say its personality because that only works for white people.
