  1. very nice that even Boba Fett gets tagged in this neighborhood.
    Taggers should get the Darth Vader Luke Skywalker light saber to the hand treatment.

  2. That reminds me: does “Reading Party” host/Sorrento Hotel owner/Elliott Bay landlord MIchael Malone still own the Jimi statue? He’s the one put it up back when he owned AEI there.

  3. @2 Boba Fett hails from 15th Ave in Ballard, where he got tagged a couple months ago. He’s made the long, slow trek to the Hill to finally confront his age-old nemesis before his joints get too creaky and his arms fall off. Old age is a sad thing.

  4. Tales from a Godless Universe.

    This is capitalism, Hegelian militarism, and our human struggle all mixed into one complete visual story. It gives us a look at the battle that we’re living right now: between the organic, alive, creative and the destructive, capitalistic, reductionistic and violent.

    Godless Universe.

  5. Boba Fett kinda looks like mini-Sasquatch in a helmet and moon boots.

    And Jesus “3A” kid, you notice someone laid out one of their own ideas in public and you think “oh I gotta get my name on that”? You’re a little shitbag for more reasons than you realize.

  6. “3A” is a crew, of wannabes, they tag over all kinds of great street art in the city. FUCK 3A!!! Sorry I had to say it. I don’t know if the 3A guys understand the distinction between street art and tagging (or if they have the capacity) but maybe they should Google it! How about a little positivity in this comment: to whomever made and transported the Boba Fett, thank you for the the smile!

  7. @16 My brother works with the guy that carved Boba Fett (with a chainsaw) and he most definitely did not tag it himself. It was on 15th un-tagged for quite some time.

    Taggers like this are scum…

  8. @27, you are only allowed to call taggers “vandals” if you were born before 1960. If you don’t like them, you may refer to them as “fucking taggers”.
