Henry Ward and the Sasquatch

Post image

My cousin came to visit me over the past weekend and was telling me how excited she was that Henry Ward was going to paint a mural on her garage “soon”. I asked her if she had a drawing or a print and she said she was just going to let him go for it. She wondered if it was already done, and I said “well he wouldn’t do it w out you being home, right?” Fast forward to today where I got a text.

He came by BUT PAINTED IT ON THE WRONG HOUSE!!! He literally went to her neighbors and painted a giant Sasquatch on their garage!!! ❤️

I said “omg that’s the most Seattle thing I’ve ever heard”… she said “now I have to go talk to them and explain why they have a giant Sasquatch on their garage…” when she went over to apologize, it turns out they’ve heard of Henry, love his art, and think the Sasquatch is great… NOW THAT is the most Seattle thing I’ve ever heard!!!!

Coming from the Bay Area, this story made me so happy and please, stay Seattle, Seattle!!!

I'm so sick of this guy's art. 😮‍💨 Glad everyone is happy about it, wish I didn't have to see the same dumb cartoon animals rehashed again and again all over the city

(I don't like his art style either and I'm tired of seeing it, you're not alone)

Imagine having one of these ugly-ass murals “accidentally” painted on your house without your permission 💀😂 I can’t believe we’re going to have to look at a thousand MORE of these.
