Help me find published portraits of everyday folk in SF in the early 2000s

Between 2001 and 2004, I lived in the SF Bay Area and looked forward to a weekly column in a local paper (don't remember which - probably not SF Chronicle, but maybe a smaller publication?) which featured a profile of an interesting local "everyday folk" along with a pen-and-ink portrait. I especially loved the charming portraits. In particular, I remember one of a guy selling boiled crab at the Pier.
Does anyone remember this? What was the name of the column, and who was the artist?
Response by poster: That wasn't it, but now I'm intrigued by Paul Madonna's work!

Best answer: Wendy MacNaughton? http://wendymacnaughton.com/
She does a lot of illustrations of SF everyday people in newspapers.
