You find them at random street corners in Washington D.C. I have no clue what they mean or who puts them there? It's got to be someone who works on roads because they don't come off. I've discovered them then come back sometimes a few years later and still there! Maybe as tall as 8 inches.
Gotta love the information highway!:
STIKMAN:
(AMERICAN)
For more than 20 years, Stikman has played a game of hide-and-seek with the city — posting his signature characters in locations that are blatantly obvious yet obscured. These small, robot-like figures found in pedestrian walkways are distorted by every tire mark and foot step that cross them. Passed over by countless people each day, the pavement paintings often times go by unnoticed. By hiding his work in plain sight, Stikman encourages the public to open their eyes and be observant to their surroundings. As with all street art and graffiti, a keen sense of the urban environment is developed as you become aware of and search for the art that is around us — “where art meets real life in the space we all share.”
They are everywhere!
Stikmen seem to be cropping up all over Toronto lately. I'm not sure if these are viral (in the sense that other people are spreading them) or the work of the original artist.
Just trying some composite crap, first stab at it and did it very hacklike as you can see.
