This post is NOT about Seattle Mosaic Arts. We’ve got one coming, but our poor planning left us storyless on that front for today. ‘

We’d been told that they’d opened a shop on 46th and Interlaken N, so we decided to pop our heads in yesterday. Along the way, we bumped into well-known Wallingford terror Lynn Freeman, her paramour Shapeshifter (who, we were happy to learn, is back playing with Marmalade at their regular ToST gigs), their friend Sasha and a yodeling pickle and then, less than a block later, our friend Ellen with her daughter Ella and their friend Kimberly.

OK, enough bold-faced names, sorry.

Anyway, when we finally arrived at Seattle Mosaic Arts, we found it was closed: hours posted indicate it’s only open Friday – Monday. Oops.

Instead, though, we had the pleasure of poking our heads into the studio next door, and chatting with its owner, Dan Fleming, a photographer, artist and “native son of the great Pacific Northwest”. Check out some of his art.

Dan lives a stone’s throw from his studio, over closer to Wallingford Center and sells his work out of some of the markets around the city (the Wallingford Farmer’s Market isn’t hosting artists this year). In addition to the beautiful art you’ll find on his web site, he does portraits and whatnot.

There, now you know another one of your neighbors.
