Stikman Persistence

The little fellow has been here for seasons. I love how the artist simulated the looks of what happens to road paint as it is smeared by tires in the heat of summer.

R Crumb – Stikman Mashup

gamma — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 13:26:28 +0000

Two of my favorite artists, R. Crumb and Stikman together at last. At first I was thinking that it was someone else appropriating the work of both artists, but Stikman is known to use R. Crumb images, so my guess is that it is a genuine Stikman sticker. It is possibly rererencing people collecting street art. Notice that someone has tried to peel this sticker.

Ever Transmogrified stikman

Squint your eyes to see the stikman on the left. Fricking amazing, as always. I’m having a hard time figuring out the technique on these. Looks like a stencil of some sort, possibly screen printing with multiple layers. Thoughts anyone?

Walk Down Wooster

gamma — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 21:57:28 +0000

It’s essentially; keep the camera on and point it at all the street art as you go, giving about as close as you’ll get to a real-time street art tour down Wooster Street on the Web. A steady cam would have been nice, but I imagine impractical. My favorite parts are the Stickman sitings. The dramatically mournful music is an odd choice.

A MAZE

C-Monster has more coverage.

STIKMAN, LA II , CELSO, INFINITY
(& introducing: C-Beauty)

November 14 – November 30, 2008

Opening Reception – November 14 from 6pm -10pm

Factory Fresh is located at 1053 Flushing Avenue between Morgan and Knickerbocker, off the L train Morgan Stop

New York City street artists Celso & infinity present A Maze, an exhibition and installation of work based on networks and passages. A gallery-sized, 7-foot-tall maze, constructed entirely out of original art, will immerse participants in a multidimensional environment designed to overwhelm the senses.

The work invites viewers to choose their path to a destination that, ultimately, is unknown. Random decisions have to be made at each artistic obstruction: Continue right or left? Go back and chose another route? The end result could offer great reward. Likewise, it could be a dead end. You choose.

The New York Times described their most recent collaboration, Post No Bills, a street art gallery in Long Island City as “Audacious.” The new show also features work by mysterious street art shaman Stikman, graffiti artist LA II (Little Angel Ortiz, a protégé and collaborator with street art legend Keith Haring) and also introduces the graceful and intricate art of Cbeauty.

A Maze is a site specific installation made for Factory Fresh that is curated and conceived by Celso and infinity in an attempt to better understand the challenges presented by working in an ever changing artistic landscape.

Stikman Melting

Or maybe Stikman on Salvia. The fun of finding a new Stikman piece is seeing how far that brave little stick figure has mutated. This one would take a topologist to warp him back to oldstyle.

Photo, 2006, on the southwest corner of 11 Spring. It may have stood there for a few years unnoticed by me. The early ones I remember finding, hid in shadowed alcoves, not standing boldly at the corners like this one. But this is the way early Stikmen looked… tiny and made from actual sticks.
