"TWO BLONDES AND A RED HEAD"
by Blaine Fontana
Since 2013, PDX artist and curator @Gage_Gage_Gage Hamilton has partnered with "Forest For The Trees" producer Tia Vanich, "pulling Portlanders away from their daily routines" to see the city as a literal canvas for the art of today. In 2017 @FFTTNW expanded their urban canvas into nearby Beaverton and Blaine Fontana added this work behind @MoChaTeaHouse on Farmington Rd. A "distinguished alumni" recipient from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, Fontana runs a successful art and design studio in Portland but still makes time amid his many other commitments, to make art. Exploring the roles of signs and images in contemporary visual culture Fontana says his work "straddles the physical and metaphysical, organic and architectural, and painterly and graphic sensibilities." @blainefontana/
I believe this is @joshkeyes.art's first large scale mural, painted for @ffttnw in 2015!

"GREEN SPIRIT"
by Yoshi47
Born and raised in central Japan, Yoshifumi Nomura, aka Yoshi47, moved to California not long after he discovered graffiti, and spent four years in the Bay Area. Artist and blogger @AntheaMissy says Yoshi47's work is largely inspired by human greed and desire and calls his signature creations, with their mouths full of teeth, a combination of Dr. Seuss and Tim Burton. Painted on SE Stark St at 11th Ave at @adxportland, Yoshi47 says this 2017 contribution to Portland’s Forest for the Trees festival was "not just a big monster face" but his way of sharing the nature-filled countryside where he now lives. "All these textures become like rice fields in Japan, which I walk around with my dog every morning. I hope you enjoy the green spirit everyday." @yoshi_47/ @ffttnw/
