ARTIST SOUGHT IN BLAZE AT APARTMENT HOUSE

Police were searching Tuesday for a 33-year-old artist and former bicycle messenger who allegedly set his own apartment building on fire on Monday, hours after he was released from the psychiatric ward of San Francisco General Hospital.

Silver Warner is being sought in the 5:15 p.m. three-alarm fire that gutted upper floors of the building at 52 Page St. Monday and left a firefighter who jumped to safety with minor injures.

Warner is described as 6 foot 1, with collar-length hair and black frame glasses. He as last seen wearing a knit black beanie, tight jacket, blue jeans and tennis shoes, and he may be carrying a messenger bag.

Warner's father, Robert Warner, said Tuesday that his son -- a peace-loving vegetarian who loves yoga -- was in "crisis" on Sunday night. He said his son makes T-shirts and "zines,'' collections of photos of cyclists and life on the streets of San Francisco. He has had group exhibitions in Boston and Tokyo.
