Matamuros Loves Fresh Produce

Thats right, more produce. This time for Lee's Produce in White Center. We had plans to have 3 of the crew involved on this project, but delays and injuries meant that it was just Zach who teamed up with John from Bherd Studios to knock this out in 3 surprisingly not-freezing days in December. Please enojy:



Shout out to Kevin Sullivan for the radish, orange, watermelon styles below. Though he couldn't be there in person his sketches were manifest through John:

Also check out Zach's BLOG, he's selling his latest prints online. If you like them, get one, he needs a new transmission to continue the mural madness. Here's a preview:

This pic is of Blue Scholars in front of a piece spontaneously created one day by Abe and Zach in the alley behind Galaxy Coffee (now Victrola) on Beacon Ave. They will be playing this Sunday at the Block Party.

You can see this pic in the Capitol Hill Block Party pull-out in the Stranger this week.

Here's the whole piece. Don't be ANGRY.

Tea Vietnamese Tea House...................
State Street, West Columbia , South Carolina

After battling large carolinian mosquitos, tropical downpours, and never-ending heat this piece was finaly installed.

This piece was completely created from scratch. Hand painted canvas and hand made frame. It sits 16 feet wide by 7 feet tall. 


All done with high quality enamels and alot of elbow grease and love. Special thanks to Clark for the creative freedom and Fabe for his help installating this piece.
