Manticore's "Tobias Funk O" stencil art hangs at Caffe Dei in Tacoma.
NOT BOGUS >>>
"I know that dude," I said in a Spicoli voice in my head this morning walking toward the espresso counter at Caffe Dei. I even pointed as I said it in my head. I didn't point at a human, but rather the new art show on the Sixth Avenue coffee house's wall.
I instantly recognized the work of Manticore, or as some call the Bremerton artist, Dave Ryan. I bought one of his pieces this past fall at the Gritty City Art Fair - a stencil art of President Obama and Mr. T hanging out in what looks to be a colorful desert. I love it.
Many of Manticore's other stencil art pieces that I wished I bought back in November are now hanging on Caffe Dei's wall, along with many new pieces. The circular works, about the size of a 33 1/3 record, draw from all walks of pop-culture life - from Spock, Star Wars and Army of Darkness to Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Bad Santa and Bob Ross. All are priced in the $25 to $30 range.
The show hangs through March 31. Drop by and order one of Cafe Dei's delicious Sasquatch drinks and sip it next to Manticore's Sasquatch disc.
P.S. Caffe Dei just received the OK to add alcohol to their repertoire.
