Specsone is an underground favorite!  You have seen his bold graffiti on city walls (he keeps it legal) and his paintings on canvas, where he takes his larger than life art form to a gallery scale. Specsone’s work references elements of hip hop culture and are also inspired by comic books and graphic novels. Catch his showing at the Georgetown Tileworks (5905 Airport Way S in Seattle).

1. Who or what is your biggest artistic inspiration?
I have many but i would have to say Jack Kirby

2. What is your favorite local book store?
Half Price Books

3. Where is the best place to view art in Seattle?
Not sure. Either Pioneer Square or Georgetown. But you know how art
is. It could spring up anywhere!

4. What is the best web site or blog that we don’t know about yet?
Well if Disinformation has a webpage. That would be my pick.

5. If you could have anyone paint/spray your portrait who would it be? why?
Kenneth Patchen to see what words he might add to it.
