Skeleton!

(Cambridge, MA., September, 2010)

We had a long, snowy winter, and unfortunately, this one is now almost gone.

Mailbox Ogre

(Cambridge, MA., September 2010)

I'm generally not including stickers on this blog because there are just so damn many of them around. This one is an exception, because rather than being a pre-printed sticker, the artist has drawn an Andre-esque ogrey guy on a U.S. Mail priority mail sticker, and then stuck it on a mailbox.

Dinosaur Stencil

(Cambridge, MA., September 2010)

This little dinosaur was on a sidewalk at the intersection of Brattle and Mason St., and it now but a ghost.

Cover your eyes, children!

(Cambridge, MA., June 2011)

I've been walking by this for a couple months, and it makes me giggle. If I remember correctly, there were originally two identical stenciled suggestions, within a few hundred yards of each other. While this one is in front of a private residence the second was on Harvard property and was probably scrubbed away quickly. (It wasn't in front of a women's dorm.)

(Cambridge, MA., September 2010)

It all started with this little robot. At least I think of him as the robot when I step over him almost every morning. (Others may refer to him as "Stickman", and he has relatives.) I walk a lot, especially around Cambridge, and I like to look around. There's a lot to see if you look carefully. While I wouldn't consider myself to be a grafitti connoisseur, I'm especially attracted to figural art. Outside.

I've been taking photographs of graffiti for a couple years, so expect a bit of bloggy backtracking. I don't necessarily seek it out, which makes it all the more fun when I stumble across something I like. I'm not limiting myself to a geographical area, and sometimes I may have a broad interpretation; something that I see as accidental art rather than artsy art. We'll see!
