15th Ave mural, 2023. It was a tribute to all of the businesses on the block, taken down after the Punk Rock Flea Market occupied the space. It was sad to see it all go, but the cause was just and the market is good for local artists and their patrons #floppydiskart #seattle

1997. Would so love one of these (pics from Discogs). So far I haven't tracked down the images from the screensaver they contained, but I should dig deeper. The black version has the label reversed from the other two - which way is the "correct" way for you? ๐พ๐ค #radiohead #floppydisks
