Another Stikman Captured

Stikman, 9th and ConstitutionI first noticed Stikman back on February 2oth, at the intersection of 17th and I.  On March 6th, I saw another one at 17th and Pennsylvania.  The one to the right is at the intersection of 9th and Constitution. Its nice to know I’m neither the only one who’s noticed them, nor the only one that is fascinated by them.

A reader brought an article to my attention from last September, in which the writer Stephan Lowman also got on the trail of Stickman, the apparent creation of a gorilla street artist that distributes him around the country. In the District, there may be as many as 150 of them scattered around.

So, having found three of them so far, I clearly have my work cut out for me. Fortunately, each time is see one, it brings a smile to my face and puts a little pep in my walk.

Another Yellow Street Man?

OK, now I’m very curious. Back on February 20th, I saw this odd little yellow man at the southwest corner of 17th and I. Well, now I discover there is ANOTHER ONE at the southwest corner of 17th and Pennsylvania, NW. I feel like I now need to do a search of all the corners to see just how many are out there. This one didn’t appear to be in as good of shape, but it could also have been the salt on the road.Yellow Man

A Smile for Friday

When I first saw this, I had to look twice to see what it was. When I realized it was a little yellow man, it made me smile. Clearly, someone has a playful sense about their work, because this appears to be made out of the same material as the yellow lines in a road, but here its been shaped like a man, and appears to be steamrollered into the road in the pavement. Its located in the south crosswalk closest to the southeast corner of 17th and I, NW.Pavement man
