Entrepreneurship

This entrepreneur was taking full advantage of the summer tourists yesterday across from the Pike Place Market at the entrance to Victor Steinbreuck Park. Using copious cans of spray paint along with common household objects, like a cake pan and jelly jar lid for some of his shapes, he spray-painted a representational city skyline and cheerfully sold it to the boy with the money standing directly in front of the portable workspace. Licensed? I suspect not. Enterprising? You bet! Summertime sees numerous opportunistic endeavors at street level. Perhaps you remember another example in the Segway-Rickshaw I posted a couple of months ago?

A while back there was a guy doing the same thing down by the aquarium. Amazing what he can turn out with some spray cans, newspaper and other simple items. More power to 'em.

Gosh. It is amazing what people can do using their imagination.

ok so I saw this guy at Folklife this year, but did not have enough cash on me to purchase one of these awesome paintings. Do you have any clue as to how I could track him down? Or do you know his name? I have been trying to track him down ever since I first saw him but I've been unlucky....any help would be greatly greatly appreciated!!

Riskamaloo ... I'd suggest contacting the Folklife organization to see if you can track him down. Good Luck!
