Urban Art

on a small scale:



I call this one Squirrel With Red Balloon. Clever name, huh. I got carried away when I saw it. I turned around and drove into the parking lot to take its picture. I love surprising little splashes of individuality.

  3. That brightens up the underpass nicely. Hopefully it'll be left alone.

  4. Found another on Park, right in between the University District and Sherwood (between Patterson and Parkwell, I think). They're awesome, Alfie, and now I'm passing 2 on my way to work, which is awesome.

    2. saw the one on freewheelin' franks after mother's dr appointment this morning. i'd never noticed this place before, and mother was so exhausted i couldn't do more than snap a quick picture. i want to go in that place, though. looks like fun!

    2. the poor little squirrel on the ridgeway trace underpass is gone now. i'm not sure why a rectangle of light paint is preferred by the powers that be, but so it is. sad.
