The Owl Tree

A large collaborative project involving around dozen street artists on a doomed building here in Seattle, The Owl Tree started as a wheatpasted tree installed on a lonely wall on Capitol Hill. Since that time, some three-plus months ago, various artists have perched their particular bird (or other figures) in the branches, making for quite a motley flock. The building upon which the birds have roosted is not long for this world -- destinted to be demolished for a new high-rise apartments-with-retail building to go up in 2008 -- so get a look while you can. Or if you don't know where the site is, check The Owl Tree Flickr pool for images and updates.
