Nice article today on Beans Barton, local artist/musician/eccentric who's currently busy painting a bigass dinosaur mural on the walls of our neighborhood elementary school. You can see a picture of the artist at work here.

If you're a fan of the band Trout Fishing in America, you've seen Beans's work before. I hadn't realized that he did artwork and auctioned it off during his shows. I'll have to make time to see him perform - I've always wanted to buy one of his paintings but never got around to it. Meantime, I need to walk past Travis Elementary so I can see that work in progress.
