Desmond, I LOVE your work, and your choices of portraits that I get to see all over Seattle. I live on the south end of West Seattle, a block from Tony’s Market. There’s a box on the NW corner of 35th and Barton, by Super Deli Mart, that’s right across the street from Tony’s. I’d like to make the suggestion that you consider doing a portrait of Tony Genzale on that box. He was a fixture in the neighborhood – with his fruit and vegetable stand, and Christmas trees – until he passed away in 2010, 11 years ago last week. His son currently runs the business.

Also, I hate to report that the George Floyd piece on Roxbury off 17th, was vandalized several months ago. Every time I drive past it it makes me sad and angry, and I wish you could come re-do it!
Keep on keeping on, Desmond. You are appreciated.

Unfortunately the Tad box painting was removed. Francis Farmer is in the west seattle junction (Alaska st. + California ave) but is not one of my paintings. Bourdain is deep into capitol hill area. (23rd and republican)

Also, i’d like to paint something big somehow in France. Can we put our heads together to find a nice wall out there for me to paint?

I’m part of a big grunge facebook group called Pearl Jamily France (https://www.facebook.com/groups/pearljamilyfrance) and I’m quite sure we could find any ideas of a nice wall somewhere in France.
I’m working on an article about my visit of West Seattle. It will be out next week and I can ask for brainstorming at this moment on the group. What king of painting would you like to do ?
