‘Electric art’ comes to Uptown Vancouver

Seattle artist Jeff Jacobson takes advantage of Thursday’s dry weather to work on “Electric Amsterdam,” a mural he’s painting on a wall outside the Main Street Marijuana store in Vancouver’s Uptown Village. Jacobson, who goes by the name “Weirdocult,” describes the piece of art as post-internet hyper realism. It’s a take on classic realism and something that feels historical for uptown, he said. Main Street Marijuana, one of the state’s largest cannabis retailers, is in the process of expanding into a storefront next door.
