PULLMAN — Method Soap workers armed with spray paint turned used plywood into the canvas for colorful murals this week with the help of local artist Ian Lantz.

The soap maker's annual meeting that brought employees from San Francisco to the new Pullman plant included a collaborative art project that aims to spruce up some unsightly chain-link fence in the historic neighborhood.

Lantz, whose garage murals have become a hit with many neighbors, added his hieroglyphics-inspired folk-art style atop doodles by Method workers. 

The finished paintings are set to be hung at Argus Brewery, the Cooperation Operation community garden and an alley backing up to railroad tracks on Langley Avenue.
