Back Ally, Smith Family Books Store

I love a good alley and sometime even a bad one, must be the gato in me.  One never knows what they’ll find like this beauty located on the backside of the Smith Family Book Store, 525 Willammette Street.  It’s a slash on the ragged border between murals and graffiti.  I like its flowing style and the way the artist manages to convey a lot of expression with Spartan efficiency.  I also appreciate the nod to cubism executed with a can of spray paint.  Touché!
 The books store inside is wonderful too, chocked (floor to ceiling) full of used books.
