Wow, I had no idea he was still around! I had one of his flowers for a while, it got displaced somewhere, but must've been over 15 years now. We've both aged some, but cool to see he's still at it.
awww man! all the times I've been to the Pearl i cant believe i missed this treasure! I've only been to Powell's once and I guess it was on World's off day. silly of the napkin company NOT to sponsor him. sure they're going to sell their napkins anyway, but he's doing something super special with them that marketing cant buy.
His version of paper flowers is actually very beautiful. I know he doesn't see them as too interesting, but I would be so curious to see what he could do with a lot more paper options and a lot more space. All in all... Lots of worse things to be than a coffee shop paper artist.
plastic cups, plastic cup covers, am I dreaming? I thought that folks were more hip than that on the west coast? get with it friends! Don't tell me those are plastic straws!? no way. Other than that, the book shop looks swell. The man's flowers are beautiful! Happy Holidays, no more plastic in 2025 please, and that goes for all of us, myself included!
Took me a few hours to figure out how this guy does his floating receipt tricks. And I already know how it works. And it still amazed me. Dudes legit talented. I can tell you how he does it it you’re curious, just don’t want to spoil in a main comment, but I will in the replies if someone wants.

Hi! Will you please share how to contact the artist? I would like to purchase his art.
He's a good dude.
But how does he levitate it?
Ok, anyone have an answer on how the paper floats?
So awesome ❤

Good for him and not to take anything from him but I first saw these paper flowers being made in prison back in the early 2000's.
so what ....!?
