A little bit of Pacific Northwest art history: If you've flown through Seattle, you might have noticed a mural of an illusionist and wondered why it's there. It's my friend's dad, Jonathan Docter! After a brief absence during renovations, he has magically reappeared in a prominent place at the airport. Cool to see him featured here.
