Hubert Tibbles "Buddy" Foley (born 1945) is an American artist, musician, and video documentarist.[1] He lives in Seattle.[2]

Born in Vancouver, Washington, he graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of Washington and also studied jazz at Cornish College of the Arts.[2]

In 2003, Kristin Dizon wrote that Foley has been "always on the cusp of fame and recognition."[2] He played piano at numerous Seafair balls[2] and at a 2007 reception for Hillary Clinton at Seattle's Benaroya Hall.[3] His neon art, including a 1987 show taking up all of the showcase windows of the Downtown Seattle flagship store of The Bon Marché briefly earned him the nickname of Seattle's "neon king".[2] For 20 years he lived in a converted gas station on 15th Avenue West, slightly north of the Magnolia Bridge in Seattle's Interbay neighborhood, where he became known for selling ladybugs.[2][1] After a reprieve from eviction in 2005, he was evicted in 2007 when the building was razed.[1]
