Punctuated

One of several characters part of a public art project embedded in the sidewalk at the Providence Park light rail station in Portland, Oregon. I didn’t notice them until my last visit to the city back in December — assuming they’ve been there for a while.

Dream more

The significance of the name of this Portland drinking establishment, Sidebar, didn’t hit me until just recently. It’s attached to a brewery. (Duh!) The photo is from my brief visit there a couple of months ago.

What’s for lunch?

One of the many animal-themed sculptures on the sidewalk ringing the Pioneer Courthouse in Portland, Oregon. This view is from my visit to that city in March 2015.

When art and public works come together: This elaborate and illustrative manhole cover can be found on the multiuser pathway on the west side of the Willamette River in downtown Portland, Oregon. It’s street art in the purest sense of the term. Snapped this picture on a visit there last month.

It turns out there is a series of signs such as this one, put up in parts of Portland to promote a comic strip based on the life of (you guessed it) sea gulls. I guess I’ll have to find the rest of them next time I’m visiting!

Put your hands up!

Portland, Oregon

What an ingenious idea it is to design a music release poster made to look like architectural drawings/plans. (Also … cassette tapes!) Spotted in Portland, Oregon, earlier this month.
