Personal Profile: Glenn Case paints the town (VIDEO)
Video
Easy Street records in the junction is well known for it's outstanding display work as well as it's wall murals. That's the work of artist, Glenn Case.
Case has other work in the area including Cafe Revo, and Mind Body Spirit as well as Cupcake Royale, but his most frequent canvas is the South wall at Easy Street.
He uses Benjamin Moore house paint for lot of his work (except for the work that needs more durability, then he uses enamels) and paints year-round except in pouring rain.
"I've always been an artist of some sort," he said, "Play outside and play with paints."
He went to college at North Carolina School of Arts, worked at the Seattle Rep and apprenticed with well known muralist James Crespinel. Case paints everything from trucks to menus and is also a fine artist.
Case said, "The funniest question I get asked is, 'Are you a painter?' even though I'm standing there with a brush in my hand."
Case also observed something funny about human nature.
"I put up a wet paint sign and inevitably someone's up there staring at the wall blankly, and then their hand's in the paint, and then they are staring at their hand with wet paint on it in amazement that my sign was actually talking about the wall with the wet paint on it."
Case does not have a Web site but you can reach him by telephone at (206) 914-3726 or through email at superwetpaint@gmail.com.
