The Public Art Scene In Beaverton: Yo

Word. Or rather, the word is Yo. While stepping off near the Westbound MAX this morning I took this photograph in what appears to be a new installation of public art here in Beaverton. I have an email into Mayor Drake's office to confirm this but I have not received a reply as of yet. The work you see here is classic urban art, along the lines of the late Jean-Michel Basquiat only not quite as refined.

Never let it be said that the City of Beaverton stands in the shadow of Portland. Our cultural scene is beginning to rival that of Stumptown. I'll be keeping a sharp eye out for more public art in Beaverton and Hillsboro.
