Just had a great afternoon hopping around downtown Portland with none other than SpearTalks own Jeff Rooney (Capacitor Design Network). We popped by Upper Playground and the Fifty24PDX gallery to see the Ricky Powell show– if you’re interested in large-format photos of The Beastie Boys, or Eazy E up close and personal– this show is certainly for you. We also dropped into Just Be Complex, a good shop with a stellar collection of shoes, prints, toys, books and gear. The current digmeout rides again show at the gallery upstairs left me speechless. An incredible collection of young and emerging Japanese artists, a must see.
