Great Art at Alberta

I ran across some great art at the Alberta Street Art Walk in Portland today. A stand out was Paul Solevad. I loved his steel bridge scene. For those of you that buy print number 165,000 out of a 600,000 run of Thomas Kincaid, shame on you. There is amazing talent locally, screw what you think you are suppose to have on the wall, go local and be unique. And Paul Solevad was one of them that should be on the wall. I was very impressed. His web address is Paulsolevad.com. Looks like he is still developing his webpage or you can get a hold of him at 360-210-7081.

Just a heads up,

Mike

PS update to webpage, it's up and running, find it at: http://www.paulsolevad.com

Alberta Street Art Walk

Well, I am going to the Alberta Street art walk today here in Portland, let’s hope there is something controversial, and ballsy. I am so sick and tired of political correctness, and worrying about offending someone. Holy shit, what happened to freedom of speech and expression?

Just some thoughts,
Mike

Honking in the tunnel

Okay, I have now lived in Beaverton for about 3 months now and have wondered why in the hell do so many people honk their horns in the Vista Ridge Tunnel? You know the one people of PDX, the tunnel on 26, yes that one. We had a tunnel in Tacoma on the waterfront that was down right scary; you had to honk your horn so you would avoid a head on collision. But your tunnel is so nice and wide. So what is it? Hmmm, I saw a bumper sticker that said; “Keep Portland Weird” Perhaps that answers my question.

Brangelina Twins

Okay, nice they had twins, but who gives a crap? Is it going to change the world? No! Just a couple of over paid actors spawning. Yep that is it.
