When Mike and I were in Seattle back in May, we met a really nice artist called Mr Dan. Mr Dan sells his art in the Pike Place farmer's market. Mike fell in love with Dan's graffiti style of art and purchased four original hats.
When it came time to buy Mike's birthday present the next month, my decision was pretty easy. I commissioned Dan to create a 36 by 18 inch custom painting of the Seattle skyline.
(click to see a big version!)
Though it took a lot longer to receive the painting than I'd anticipated, the wait was worth it! Dan did a great job of capturing Seattle's gorgeous skyline, music scene and even the train Mike and I took to get down to Seattle.
I love how he used the unraveling cassette tape to write out Seattle.
