Look familiar?!

I love the idea that there is an individual walking around town quickly scribing their trademark on any place of importance. Sacred locations perhaps. I envision these works of art to be a self portrait of a man who goes by the name of “Bear”. I’m going to be on the lookout for a odd looking man with a cool stash. In fact now that I think back, I totally saw him at the Chait Gallery tonight. I should have interrogated him.

This new discovery made me wonder how many more of these hidden treasures are out there! I made a quick google search of ‘Iowa City Graffiti’ and although no more of the Bear prints were seen documented by anybody else, I still found yet another instantly recognizable image (for me anyway)!

Considering the Old Capital Mall houses the School of Music, I’m pretty sure it belongs. Why didn’t I listen? I bet if I were to stop and listen like the picture is trying to tell me, I would hear the students playing above.

I’m going to scour this town for more! I’m going to explore every building, bathroom, and basement. Every alleyway and rooftop. I will take pictures of anything and everything. And I will do this all very soon.
