Portland is known to be a city of creatives, innovators, and boundary pushers. These ideals are exemplified by Nathan McKee, a local artist who weaves a variety of culture, music, and sport into his illustrations and paper cutouts. The Portland native’s most impressive paper cuts revolve around some of the greatest Blazers to ever play the game.
