Scratching an Itch with a Paintbrush If you have traveled anywhere around Seattle, then you have probably seen them. Bright, large murals. Some people love them. Others say they are a small step up from graffiti. They are all signed in big, letters with the name "Henry". In the latest installment of our ongoing Artscape series, KPLU’s Jennifer Wing tells us who is behind all of these "Henry" paintings and why they seem to be popping up everywhere.

Portraits of the Fallen
For most of his career, artist Michael Reagan drew life-like portraits of the rich and famous. Now, from his basement studio in Edmonds, Reagan makes portraits of American and British soldiers killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and gives them to the families left behind. |

Welcome to Artscape
KPLU’s weekly arts feature! Every Monday on KPLU you’ll hear stories about the world of art including theater, dance, music, and the visual arts. Our goal is for you to experience the arts through the power of radio and to hear from the people who create them.
Over the years, you’ve told us that you value the arts and want more stories about all the colorful and exciting things happening in our region. Artscape is KPLU’s way of answering that request. In fact, we believe arts stories are a great way to start your week, so we’re airing them every Monday on KPLU’s Morning Edition at 5:30 and 7:30 and again on All Things Considered. We also invite you to visit this web page anytime to download any and all of our Artscape stories.
Help us shape our coverage. Please send us your ideas and feedback.
— Erin Hennessey, Artscape Editor
