at least i'm in a mad dash to traipse around my little part of the city to find all of these lovely stenciled graffiti "paintings." it feels like love. or at least a crush. i smile involuntarily and my heart quickens when i see one of these marvelous images. twice in as many days i have slapped the dashboard and said...well screamed..."josh! stop! STOP!" and hopped out of the car to take a picture. in the pouring rain even.
yes, coolidge, that's how much i love you. or at least your street art. don't worry. i'm married. i won't stalk you. but i will keep pulling over like a crazy person and taking pictures of these mysterious animals!
this sea turtle swam toward me lazily right after i got home from puerto rico and had actually SEEN a sea turtle while snorkeling. well, the flipper of one anyway. the point is, he came for me.
someone (most likely a prius driving employee from the city of houston) hastily painted over the turtle (but failed to pick up the trash...hmmm). but alas, a month or so later, COOLIDGE strikes again. this time with another elephant. didn't go out of my way to find this one. it found me. i'm telling you, it's a sign. i am supposed to get a baby elephant.
any guesses where these two popped up?
Is it somewhere along Allen Parkway toward downtown?
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Of course that baby elephant would find you! Wonder how long it will remain?
ReplyDeletei don't know where these are, but i have seen the other baby elephant by target... the one by the little piggy!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the elephant on Shepherd at Kirby. I missed the sea turtle, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank the artist for not tagging the brick on my building in EADO. I thought it was cool, but please take it over to mid-town. Thx.
ReplyDeletei've notice that he {or she} tends to grafitti on abandoned or vacant buildings. or slabs of concrete....so hopefully your building is safe....
ReplyDeleteVacant, currently yes. Abandoned, not.
ReplyDeleteI have also noticed this little guy. Done so well some one must know what it's about? It's the Calvin Coolidge elephant for the republican party.
