Happy #juneteenth and #pridemonth ! I began making this on the day the bill was pushed to congress. My way of expressing solidarity, honor, respect and love rather than a flag or sign, respectfully. Displayed on my front lawn. Aerosol on 1/2” birch ply. #pride #blm #montanacans #montanacolors @thepridecircle @rainbow.shades_ ✊🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

It occurred to me I hadn’t posted final photos of this project that was completed November, election day. There is a video feature posted earlier in my feed… In partnership with local street art organization PSAA ( @portlandstreetartalliance )and for the real estate development firm Holland Group ( @holland_partner_group ), we created a Columbia River gorge mural that also highlights the protected wetlands around Vancouver featuring an elusive and massive Egret. This mural is located off the street, tucked away in a plaza between two apartment buildings. Special thanks for my assistants @cjmedema @d_j_rice & @plasticbirdie

Commissioned sculpture for Kaiser Permanente at undisclosed location. This was one of the most challenging wood sculptures in my career. A radical departure from my usual series, I’m so thrilled, along with the client how it turned out. Engineering this to completion, while designing a system to disassemble for transport and reinstall on site was a hurdle. Special thanks to the curator at @studioartdirect for the thorough project management and encouragement to push my creative boundaries. #blainefontana #woodsculpture #portlandart #portlandsculpture

FIN 13 x 20’• Aerosol • 2021
Just wrapped this experimental mural for the awesome local adventure store @evoportland. They expanded into the old REVELRY restaurant. Sadly, this favorite establishment of mine, was another victim of the pandemic. I had created a mural for them in 2016 with a 90’s hip hop theme. EVO asked that I subtly continue the mural but with a snow/ski theme. The expansion will be a rental, repair and demo shop. My goal was to create the wonderment of snow, that first time you remember it as a child and how it never leaves us into adulthood. As adults we still play, snowboarding, sledding, skiing and more. Lastly, this was kinda the first time jumping into portraiture using entirely aerosol. Special thanks to long time friend, collaborator and studio mate @d_j_rice for assisting me through this Jam! #blainefontana #evoportland #portlandmural #portlandmurals #evo #evomural

Couple months back @plasticbirdie and I took off on a road trip to Denver and collaborate on this little jammer that our homies @lindzandlamb put together. This epic trip was met with insane wind storms, moose on the loose, poop pants, driving on the shoulder over the rockies, more wind, party forest rangers, rooftop sunsets, and finally an "exploded" engine in the middle no where...... one of the very few highlights of the year. 3300 miles, 7 states. Thanks @plasticbirdie and @lindzandlamb 😘😘😘😘 #tsukilee #blainefontana #jeremynichols #denvermurals #denverart #plasticbirdie #roadtrip #nwhiace #jdmvan #hiace @montanacans #montanacans

#tbt This piece from 17 years ago to nearly the day, came back my way to create a custom floating frame for my friend who just moved to Portland,OR. I had totally forgotten he had this and was reminded how far I’ve come and that this was one of my favorites when I started hustling after college. 4x4’ acrylic on canvas.

▶️▶️▶️ The @kaya.inc mural project in Kingston, Jamaica. Just opened 12/19/19! Blessed up to have collaborated with such a great crew and contributing to KAYA Kingston’s herb house. Jamaica’s national bird of massive pride is “Doctor Bird”, endangered and magical, it only seemed fitting to honor this beautiful creature. .
