I miss my home town! I everything about Powell’s is wonderful and this guy is the frosting on the cake. 🩷

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Yeah, the people who live there do too.

[@MitraJordan2000]

Awesome

[@mendynoma4272]

Beautiful .😊

[@eternity-minded]

Hi! Will you please share how to contact the artist? I would like to purchase his art.

[@GratitudeGriot]

awww man! all the times I've been to the Pearl i cant believe i missed this treasure! I've only been to Powell's once and I guess it was on World's off day. silly of the napkin company NOT to sponsor him. sure they're going to sell their napkins anyway, but he's doing something super special with them that marketing cant buy.

[@kilaamos6070]

good for him!

[@amylandry4108]

Fabulous 😮😅❤

[@nmtumbleweed5320]

Ok, anyone have an answer on how the paper floats?

[@RaptureReady556]

This made me cry and smile,thanks for bringing this story!

[@Here4TheHeckOfIt]

He's a good dude.

[@julietteyork6293]

But how does he levitate it?

[@domeatown]

His version of paper flowers is actually very beautiful. I know he doesn't see them as too interesting, but I would be so curious to see what he could do with a lot more paper options and a lot more space. All in all... Lots of worse things to be than a coffee shop paper artist.

[@janeflannery8757]

plastic cups, plastic cup covers, am I dreaming? I thought that folks were more hip than that on the west coast? get with it friends! Don't tell me those are plastic straws!? no way. Other than that, the book shop looks swell. The man's flowers are beautiful! Happy Holidays, no more plastic in 2025 please, and that goes for all of us, myself included!

[@leonardodalongisland]

Good for him and not to take anything from him but I first saw these paper flowers being made in prison back in the early 2000's.

[@felice9907]

so what ....!?

[@veronicaharwick9013]

Magic on every level. 🫶

[@felice9907]
