  • The 2026 Saltbox Descension commences!!!

I think this season is going to be extra fun. The reason: 

In past years, the heroes at Baltimore City DOT (@bmorecitydot) pulled the art panels in the Summer for Juliet Ames (and I) to pick up. This was always so above and beyond on DOT workers’ part. They didn’t ask for this art box thing, but took great care to set the art aside. 

The field trips to the mothership on Pulaski Hwy with Juliet to pick up the art for Juliet to store and redistribute to the artists were the best day of the year. 

It didn’t happen this year. That’s awesome in its own way because the last year’s art and graffiti boxes are reshuffled around Baltimore, so you get to see new-to-you pieces like this:

Saltbox Art on Rockrose Ave. and Clipper Rd., Woodberry. 

Title: D-Fence
Artist: Juliet Ames (@thebrokenplate_jules)

Meet Wes Henson aka Captain Dee-Fense, the Baltimore Ravens (@ravens) superfun we lost a year ago October 5th. RIP Captain.

  • This is not a saltbox. This is a storage box I built for our back porch for the compost bins, birdseed, and other outdoor  sundries that’s clearly in the key of saltbox, but double-wide and flat-topped. I really want something more interesting than STORAGE BOX to stencil on it. Open to any ideas - dumb, funny, earnest, etc., so comment away, friends. Thanks in advance for playing!
