Standing Out in the Crowd by Tacoma artist Ashley Laufer was selected as the August 2026 Underground Sound cover art in collaboration with the 6th Avenue Business District’s annual Art on the Ave festival.
Created as part of Ashley’s Single Line Portraits series, this expressive piece explores the beauty of gesture, intuition, and human connection using a single continuous line. The familiar faces are intentionally open to interpretation, inviting each viewer to discover their own stories and emotions within the artwork.
Ashley describes the series as a creative practice in reconnecting with curiosity and intention—reminding us that sometimes less detail allows us to see more deeply. The result is a collection of portraits that celebrates individuality while reflecting the shared humanity that connects us all.
Available in both vibrant color and classic black-and-white editions, this wearable artwork brings a contemporary gallery aesthetic to everyday life.
Every purchase supports independent artists and helps Tacoma Loyal continue its mission of celebrating the people, creativity, and culture that make Tacoma extraordinary.
• 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester)
• Pre-shrunk fabric
• Side-seamed construction
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
