So, these murals have been popping up all over Ballard in the past year. They are painted by a local artist named Ryan Henry Ward. I've noticed them a lot because I pass a couple of them everyday on my way to work. They're fun and bright, lighthearted and are big enough they really brighten up the neighborhood. I really like them a lot. Info here:
Anyway, on the same day I sent an email to the radio show about Iceland, Teri read about this guy and decided to write him. He's been written up in Seattle Magazine, The Stranger, Seattle Times and couple ofhter local blogs.
You see we painted our house a while back but didn't paint our garage because we thought we might someday push it down. Well, that hasn't happened, and it needs to be painted. And after a nice email from Teri, Henry has decided to do it. All four sides this month however he wants to do it. Here are more of his murals:
We are basically getting this done for free and are really excited. I have no idea if it is going to be robots or weird animals or what. All we asked was that it was bright and cartoon-y. Photos when it is finished. Anything to keep our home value up!

That is so cool!!! There are a ton of abandoned building here in White Center he could lay his brush down on!
No shit...that's pretty damn cool. Make sure he doesn't paint too hard. When we lunchin?

i seem to remember (when you almost burned down your garage with the turkey deep frier - remember, deep friers always burn down buildings!) a pile of wood and stuff that was pulled out of your basement during the remodel next to the garage. did you haul that away yet? let me know if i can help. i know people... with trucks.
