My World: Street Art




Street Art


I was walking in my Village one Sunday morning and noticed,
painted on the control box for the traffic light,
this little guy.
Think his name is Coolidge?

    Oh I think he is adorable!!!! Yes all paintings of flowers are from my garden, which bloomed so very late this year!

    Who are these clever artists? and why don't I think of these things?!

    Thanks for sharing the fun.

    Happy week too!

    Nice one!

    Don't worry about the old oaks, they are just protecting themselves and will come back next when the rains come. Oaks have deep tap roots, ours, even young trees, survived 8 years of drought. I know you have had little rain and your temps at the moment are in the 40's C and bound to stress plant as well as animal life. We have summers like that almost every year and the garden somehow still survives.

    Street art! I love it, even if it can be mysterious! This is fun. I will rename my fridge the Coolidge!

    Cute!! This is interesting because we have several of these boxes around downtown painted and graffitied too! I should snap 'em and show you :).

    OK I love the street art -- but I don't understand the Coolidge reference quite.

    I scrolled down a ways and loved the posts -- (this is my first visit) and pictures. Only now I am hungry for dim sum.

    I like that. Brightens up the control box.

    Love it!! I would be so excited to find something like that around here; may be worth a trip downtown to treasure hunt (when it cools off, anyway :D).

    This is a cute, surprise painting to come across, Snap. It's a goodname for the virtual puppy. ;)

    Maybe that's where Coolidge marked his spot! I do adore how people fit art into everyday objects - one of the best places to find art!

    Hi Snap, I love the idea of street art. Although we do not have one like yours.

    He is a cutie, and love his name.

    That dog has shown up on similar boxes in our neighborhood too. I wonder what that means.

    Those utility boxes need a bit of art and this is a nice example. Sortof Banksy looking.

    Hi there - I think these stencil artists are great. Some people seem to think that it is vandalism - but do they really think that the grey metal box in your picture is not better looking with a dog on it?!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog - if you have time you may enjoy my "other blog" as well - click on the tab at the top of my photo-blog and off you go!

    Cheers
