Step right up – the street art’s fine!
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Don’t be shy. Seattle has just put itself on the Street Art Map, and here’s your invitation to a private tour! That’s right, with just the scroll of your screen you have the chance to witness some of the most amazing urban art Seattle has produced, all in one place! And that place? Why it’s none other than ‘Dozer’s Warehouse’.
Meet your organizer!
This here is Crick Lont, aka Dozer, the Seattle street artist who organized today’s event. What exactly am I talking about? Well, Dozer gathered up a BUNCH of his graffiti-making friends, street art acquaintances and other artists he simply thought might be interested in creating some large scale art, brought them into the bottom two floors of a building that’s going to be torn down next month…and let them loose! They ended up creating over 100 works in about a week! Unreal.
So. Many. Murals!
Just like that, Dozer’s Warehouse was born. And it might be gone by the time you read this. That’s the glorious thing about street art, it’s so often short-lived in the wild.
Speaking of short-lived in the wild – how about some lovely sloths from Henry?
Here’s a quick video I took from upstairs showing one small section of the Warehouse. There was SOOO much pure painting bliss that Anner and I spent a good two hours soaking it all in!
Local artist Ten Hundred created this fine racer.
Ten Hundred made an amazing video showing the production of his piece (here). It’s also got an interview with Dozer in it talking about how he created the Warehouse exhibition. Highly recommended!
This is part of one of Dozer’s pieces. Love the combo of stencils.
Another Dozer design…appropriating the classic basketball image of a player with arms outstretched palming a ball.
This piece by Jaymeer was one of Anner’s absolute favorites. He had a small piece in the gallery outside that sure was tempting…
I’m not as familiar with graffiti artists as I am with muralists. Apparently Jaber was the biggest non-local name in the show!
Jose Camarillo is actually a tattoo artist! I can definitely see the cross-over possibilities!
Hauntingly beautiful piece by Seattle artist Abby Fields.
Hummingbird anyone?
Wonder if that hummingbird ever found his way to the flowers in the upstairs rooms?
There is honestly waaaaay too much to celebrate in just one post, so let’s consider this simply a taste, shall we?
Anner’s surrounded by color!!!
The show continues next post…

Great art! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what fun and what talent. My favorite is the lovely flower in the last photo who is standing in the middle of a painted flower. These make me wish it was easier to get over and explore with you. Now if only Seattle were more accepting of this art on buildings that weren’t about to be knocked down.
