Well, since "daddy long legs" is merely the common name for both, they are both right and wrong.
The mural is best enjoyed in rare Seattle sunny weather, in the middle of the day. FYI the span of the widest point on the female is about 100 feet. Check out my website for more details on the process: www.marlinpeterson.com

I was in the Space Needle elevator last weekend. I was at the back, so couldn't see it myself, but people up front pointed it out pretty quickly on the ride down.

I absolutely love these things (3D-in-2D, not necessarily spiders). I understand the whole drawing-on-the-right-side-of-the-brain negative-space concept for putting simple real-world objects on paper, but I somehow can't make the leap to complex scenes. And that's OK—befuddlement and misdirection is behind our delight in magicians.

CLICK! ME!
