GEOFF WEEG

musician/artist

How does the mellow drummer from Humble Cub, basist for Tallest Tree, and solo member of Atrophy Wife contribute to Tacoma's visual art community?

The self proclaimed "staple-gun master" posts his cardboard creations like missing cat flyers on wood surfaces all around your fair city.



Reminders of love, and quarky thoughts or ideas for others to find and take home, free of charge.

Geoff went through a faze of meticulously creating these color grids that he would staple to old buildings.

These things had the longest runs I have ever seen in Tacoma street art. It was like the property owner couldn't even see them. No need to buff invisible graffiti.

While describing these pieces during his Pecha Kucha presentation at the Tacoma Art Museum (9-16-2010), he said,

"I thought it would be funny if I gave them color chip options."

If you hear about Geoff having an art show, check it out. It's the only chance you'll have to buy his artwork. Otherwise you'll have to find some.
