[BlackHand]

henry is a prolific mural artist in my area and I pass a number of his murals every day. This thread will serve to record those I randomly stumble upon.

henry set out to paint 1000 sasquatch heads in the PNW in 2025. He asked people to register if they wanted him to paint their property and had to shut down the registration in May after getting 1500 requests.

This is very cool. Whether you like his art, or not, it’s great to see a love for art. Henry clearly has it, as well as the ones that allow it on their property. Thanks for sharing.

You're lucky to live in a great place. Your lovely murals haven't been covered in tags or graffiti.

I guess when you're trying to do 1000 sasquatch heads in a year, not every one will be a masterpiece.

BTW, he doesn't charge - you provide the 'canvas' he provides the art.

does he "size" the background with spray cans?he must use something more economical the spray cans.

 

[Slaphappygamer]

Some dump sites have paint available. This is paint that was to be tossed, but gets mixed with other paints. Usually a blue color. Some artists, and art teachers, use this paint for large projects. Hopefully, something similar is used here as well.

I don't know for sure. The only videos I've seen of him are painting with bins of spray cans on surfaces that already have a base layer. It wouldn't surprise me if he asks the property owner to put on whatever base they want beforehand.

Many of his murals have a lot of swirls filling the background which he presumably sprays as well. He must go through a lot of spray paint!
