“Someone bought one of my Mr. McGoo paintings for $100.” Kerry works on the stoop every night after 6pm or when the doors officially close to the office building and it’s not raining. He lives and works in one of the local galleries. The owner hires him to clean his supplies and do evening security. How great that one artist is helping another. #pioneersquare, #seattle, #artists Stoop, Office Building, 6pm, Pioneer, The Locals, Galleries, Seattle, Evening, Paintings

“Emerge” was created by Seattle-based artist Jeff Jacobson, aka #Weirdo. He received two grants from the Alliance of Pioneer Square and Kickstarter.com to fund the aerosol project. Standing at approximately 17 feet tall and 120 feet wide, this piece of art took four weeks to complete. Take a walk downtown. You can’t miss it.” #pioneersquare, #seattle, #wierdo Street Art, Slg, Weirdo, Grants, Kickstarter, Downtown, Films

“Pioneer Square is friendly. I throw (football) passes at folks that I know; I’ve been through about 6 footballs on this corner. One car stopped in the middle of the intersection and just drove off with one of them. Someone else brought me a new one two days later. Jon Young gave me his NFL ball; he has 6 NFL passer rating titles. He said he gave the ball to me because he thought I would appreciate it and I could always sell it if I needed to. I haven’t sold it.” #pioneersquare #seattle Nfl, Give It To Me, Middle, Corner, Football, Friendly
