We created a notebook series to help share the inspirational works and stories of PSAA artists. And we hope to encourage and inspire anyone who receives these notebooks to bring forth their creative visions.
Please use the books for simple note-taking, elaborate sketching, or both. If you create something you’d like to share, post it to our Instagram or Facebook. We’d love to see it. Need some inspiration? Check out some of the fun drawings that we’ve already received on social.
JEREMY NICHOLS, DAN LEE AND DEVIN FINLEY | FEATURED Artists | CENTRAL EASTSIDE history MURAL
PSAA worked with three lead artists, Jeremy Nichols, Dan Lee, and Devin Finley, and nearly 20 local graffiti artists to paint a massive 12,000-square-foot mural. The final work is dedicated to the nautical history of Portland’s Central Eastside Industrial District.
Excerpted from the Portland Street Art Alliance website:
“This colossal new mural was a partnership between PSAA and the Central Eastside Industrial Council (CEIC), the neighborhood business association, with significant grants from Prosper Portland and the Oregon Arts Commission. CEIC secured a grant from Prosper Portland and contracted with PSAA for assistance managing and implementing this mural project. CEIC is also donating all of their staff time to support this district beautification and improvement project.
The property has been subject to intense vandalism for decades and the property and business owners were unable to keep up with the ongoing maintenance needs. Instead of constantly painting over tagging, they wanted to try a new and more sustainable approach: an investment in the arts.
The mural design honors the history of the Central Eastside Industrial District and this stretch of the Willamette River. Specifically, the industrial and maritime history as a hub for shipping and commerce in the late 1800s. Included will be historic views of the Willamette River during the early industrial boom, spawning Chinook and Coho Salmon, flowing wapato, fishing nets, wooden ship hulls, buoys, anchors, and fishing piers. ”
