I've photographed his work a LOT over the past several years, and yesterday I saw him in the wild... or rather leaving his new workshop location. I wanted to repost some pictures of I've taken of his stuff over the years for context, but that's the downside to my main photography folder being 34,154 Files in 517 Folders. That's far from every photo I've ever taken, only select photos go in. I have spent time organizing it, but... not enough?
Anyway, you can get his vibe from these pics I think.

Where the magic happens:


He runs the sticker, keychain and pin exchanges across Portland. He did the Crypto-zoo, Dinotopia, The Portland Aquarium and runs the Wonderwood Springs D&D/RPG themed cafe in St Johns. I know I've posted about that place and can picture the images, but I cannot find them right now. I might need to start a dedicated Mike Bennett folder. Originally known online as Regional Memesmith, he is part of the fabric of the Portland arts scene.
This glow in the dark piece for a Winter Lights Festival years ago is his work!

Also, here is a picture from the Portland Aquarium:

Yeah, I need a folder for him. Too much of me finding my old photos is keyword searching my gmail inbox to find my old DW posts. That's why remembering his street art psued helped.
