Chinatown

dragon alley

A 1974 American neo-noir mystery film

Wang's Noodle House opened their doors in 1968 and was a San Francisco favorite for years to come because of its authentic Chinese menu as well as its late hours, serving until 4:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Wang's was little more than a hole in the wall of Chinatown, but still managed to pack the house with regulars and tourists alike until their untimely closing in 2004 after a fire gutted their building.

Generally considered one of the greatest movies of the seventies and arguably the greatest private eye flick ever made (the only other contender is John Huston's The Maltese Falcon) 1974's Chinatown, which unleashed the character of Los Angeles gumshoe J.J. "JAKE" GITTES upon the world, is a superb private eye mystery and modern-day film noir thriller.

Just a pic taken with my camera phone but sometimes the simplest tools can create such pretty things. :)

Chinatown New York graphic inspired by a vintage sticker

The J. J. Gittes design is inspired by the Jack Nicholson character in the films Chinatown and The Two Jakes. Gittes is a Los Angeles Private Eye in the vein of Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, specialising in sleazy divorce work. Nicholson first appeared as Gittes in Roman Polanski's classic Chinatown, considered by many one of the best films of the Seventies.

NYC, Cninatown, Downtown Manhattan.

The Blind Seer was one of NYC's oldest continuously operating family businesses in Chinatown. Operating across multiple generations of the Zhou family, from 1883 until 1992, the curio shop and fortune-teller business was a favorite of locals and tourists alike, but a combination of rising rents and a lack of interest from the next generation meant the end for this Lower Manhattan landmark. Thankfully, they made it through the '70s, which gave us a killer souvenir t-shirt that is now back to live another life.

Fall in love with this cool illustrated I heart Chinatown tourist or local t-shirt or gift today. It’s like no other travel design out there. It goes great with dim sum!

Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown

Hauntingly, figures emerge. As if through the dreamlike magic of the street arts themselves. They become entangled, as we attempt to simply move through unnoticed; Harmless though they are.

A dérive through T-dot

Wing Kong Trading Co. Inspired by the movie “Big Trouble In Little China” (1986). Please note that the print is deliberately distressed to give an aged, retro appearance.

These characters are inspired by the deadly trio of Lightning, Thunder and Rain also known as The Three Storms from the 1986 cult classic, Big Trouble in Little China. "Play your cards right you live to talk about it!"

Enigmatic design inspired by the flag of the Albacore Club in the classic film CHINATOWN.
