The thumbs-up mono

Ryan Henry Ward (aka, Henry) is a Seattle artist, and for the past years, he's been adding some humor and color to the Fremont and Ballard neighborhoods in the form of funny-looking murals on random walls, garage doors, trucks, etc. I don't know much about him, but in my book he is a cool dude, who paints cool doodles, and adds a little character to our neighborhoods.
In Mexico, 'mono' is a term loosely used for a doodle/characture (among many other things). Donovan and I loved the mono below, the focal point of a larger mural. And every time we'd drive past it (at least 1x day), we'd give each other thumbs-up while saying "Eh", like Fonzie.
It's the " mono that says 'Eh'," we used to call him.

Sadly, this mural would constantly get tagged with worthless spray paint crap, and constantly restored. It's now completely gone, unfortunately, to make way for a residential project.  At any rate, it's a tiny little memory with Donovan and I felt like blogging about it. If you'd like to learn more about Henry, here's an interview I found.
