A graffiti artist in his youth known as TAJ, Jose Torres Jr. signs this body of work Tony Taj. His work is recognized and exhibited throughout the United States, and if you look, you might just see his distinctive drip technique hanging in a national restaurant franchise or gracing product packaging.

Jose moved from his studio at Pioneer Square to a Belltown studio, and is now located at 1211 1st Ave., appropriately across from Seattle Art Museum. Stop in talk with Tony, and buy something!

Call a Marana neighbor, I'm THERE!

Nice showcase of a local artist. I love the way Seattle incorporates ART as part of any new building design. Lovely, lovely city.

Hi Cara~ We have talented artists and creative thinkers working together to make Seattle an astounding city!

Hi Alexandra~ I love the reflective quality of Jose's work! In a city with a rainy climate, the drip effect he uses really feels like home when I view his work.

So many wonders in Seattle. The sophistication of the city has grown immeasurablyover the past few decades. I remember visiting a gallery devoted to Disney celluloids in 1993. I was fascinated with the place.

Judi, I really appreciate you sharing the art in your blog. I don't get to see much while I am in Wyoming so each time I see another post of art from you it is a treat.

Hi Myrl~ I have discovered beauty and talent throughout our fair city. City Hall is filled with some of the most remarkable pieces, and I haven't even touched on how we are working toward a greener community yet!

Roy~ Life is just plain good! From Washington to Maryland, one thing is for sure, this day will never come again! Might as well make the most of it!

Gary~ The way you are getting your Mom's new house pulled together is a treat for all of us to see!

Once again, a great post to end my day. I love all the nooks that you take time to discover in Seattle. I may have to go see Mr. Torres one day and discuss his fascinating work. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi George~

You will love the talent displayed in this Tony Taj exhibit of acrylic on canvas. I want one of his cityscapes!

See you in the rain...
