I’ve always been a huge fan of street art, both because art that isn’t framed in the context of a gallery or museum feels more “real” and because unexpected beauty is the best kind. That’s why it was such a giggle to find these paintings nailed to telephone polls in South Wallingford, in the 37th and Bagley area.
Anyone know who the artist is?
(Michelle took the first two photos. I missed the third painting entirely until I saw this shot by mcoughlin in the Wallingford Flickr group)
There’s another one out there somewhere, too, which I saw only in the dark one night and couldn’t photograph. Would love to know more about this artist!

The Sign People mourn the loss of their comrades on 36th St. Let’s hope they ended up in a good home rather than a trash bin. Viva la revolucion!
Do you know what the Sign People do while you sleep?
