Following the publication of a Willamette Week review of an exhibition of Alex’s artwork in the downtown framing store and gallery Right Side Art, photocopies and torn-out fragments of the review from the paper are found pasted up in multiple locations around Portland, including in the neighborhood of the person who is still receiving therapeutic treatment for traumatic brain injury from a brutal attack in September. New posters in Alex’s signature style also appear, some which seem to make oddly specific (though paranoid & defensive) reference to his impending Stalking Protective Order hearing; and some of which, again, declare Riot Cop’s rhetorical “anti-racist / anti-sexist / anti-homophobia” stance, while paradoxically using ISIS imagery (an organization we are fairly certain does not embody these values).
The timing of these escalations after a fairly lengthy period of calm coincides with a pattern we have observed & remarked upon before.
