Specs one, a Seattle native, is a musician, visual artist, and elder in the underground art community. He's a noted MC and beat-maker; dubbed by writer/journalist Charles Mudede as "Seattle's Baudelaire", and often described as "The Holy Ghost of Northwest underground hip hop". Wandering the streets with Specs is to hear tales of various scenes dating from the late 70's, now since vanished, to the street happenings of today. In addition to working on songs, film scores, performing live, and writing; Specs also has produced a series of comics under Capstan Media, and recently published 'Mux Adapter', a graphic novel. For the Capitol Hill Wall Project, he will be painting a 60 ft. mural on Broadway entitled, "Watching Emeralds"; a homage to his hometown.
