Calvin's snowmen
Calvin, like most other children his age, enjoys making snowmen during the winter. Unlike most other children, though, Calvin's snowmen are almost never regular snowmen; this distancing was often used by Bill Watterson in order to criticize the art scene. On occasions the snowman showed signs of life. They are among the many recurring characters in the comics. The following is a list of relevant snowmen, sets of snowmen or snow sculptures built by Calvin, in order of appearance. Titles in...
JoyceHumphreys@ghostdancer @streetartutopia Thank you. I really enjoyed reading this.
IDee@streetartutopia Ist das die Antwort an die Osterinseln?πΊ
@IDee πΏ π
Robin from Colorado πΊπΈπΊπ¦@streetartutopia is this Denver?
Chance@robinbrenizer @streetartutopia The artist is located in Waterloo, Ontario.
@rareearthk @streetartutopia We have a lot of snow right now and that architecture is the same so I wondered
Stacy πΊπ¦πΊπΈ (he/him)@streetartutopia Love it πππ
Pious Ramon π³οΈβπ@streetartutopia absolutely love this. So unexpected.
A L Katz@streetartutopia What is this - Easter Island pulling a Brigadoon in Buffalo?
Russell Ziske
Kat@streetartutopia Hey, that's in my neighbourhood!
regphunt@streetartutopia that's some Calvin level shit right there.
lamy, david
stevenray@streetartutopia Brilliant.
Kigelia@streetartutopia Calvin and Hobbes comic strips made real. Love it.
Hans Gerwitz@streetartutopia where is this one? The architecture feels very midwest.
johanna, at the cafe counter@streetartutopia Let's credit when we can!
This is by Matt Morris, Waterloo,Ontario, whose front lawn (along with many nearby public spaces) is a constantly replenishing gallery of snow art, all winter long.
@Johannab Wow! dident think I had that information. Went back to the orginal post and it was in it.... bad of me to not look. https://streetartutopia.com/2021/12/15/nothing-like-a-little-easter-at-christmas
@streetartutopia No worries! it's easy to slip, and we always want to share something cool even if we can't get all the details.
I'm a neighbour though. Matt is quite the phenom in this town, and operates SnowBank Productions, which puts out free videos and a Snow Sculptors Club for kids. It's worth spreading more about him.
Tarasque@streetartutopia @Johannab the great thing is that you *can* edit posts on Mastodon and add the info to the original post π
@la_tarasque @Johannab hah so smart! hah did it now. ty.
Neil Cameron@Johannab @streetartutopia Wonderful to have the clarification giving the artist due & deserved recognition.
I'll admit that I was guessing Ottawa because it's so reminiscent of the area I lived in when I was there. That it's Waterloo doesn't surprise me though.
John Otto@streetartutopia
Oh my gosh it's not even December.
Can we not start decorating for Easter already? Its bad enough they put Christmas trees out right after Halloween!

Monsieur Lu@streetartutopia #BreakingNews It's snowing on Rapa Nui, which proves that the climate is controlled by aliens who already control our brains. Irrefutable proof: this photo of Easter Island. (Alien Theory s42e37)
Adalwin@streetartutopia give me gum gum
GillianA πΊ@streetartutopia Very cool! πβοΈ.. .
@streetartutopia How did they arrive here? Another great mystery of Science.
I love them!
I love them!
Anniebeeknits@streetartutopia Just down the street from my office! He does amazing things, and teaches lessons on how to do them, too.
kim st@streetartutopia haha, these are great!
@billclassified
Rai Aren πβ¨ππΊπ¦@streetartutopia That's awesome!
Tsumami 
@streetartutopia Itβs cool but also depressing when you think about the actual history of the people of Easter island
JoJaSciPoBut... it's CHRISTMAS! Not Easter!π€₯
My middle finger salutes you
Toxteth O'Grady@streetartutopia Isn't that supposed to be in April?
michelle.cat@streetartutopia Come on admit it the aliens helped you make these haha
Blortβ’ πβπ₯β£οΈI love this! Any chance you could add a description, so blind people can enjoy it to and I can boost?
If you don't know how, feel free to ask.
Heck I'll even provide one to copy and paste if you like:
"Photograph of a suburban house from the street. The front yard is covered with snow and adult size snow sculptures of somber faces like the famous stone faces of Easter Island."
Thanks!
Likely Jan LukasWe need this sort of thing in Edmonton to be a judgy reminder to others to clear* their damn sidewalks!
*assuming we ever get snow again
Mark Connolly moved to @@likelyjanlukas @streetartutopia Weβve no snow in Waterloo either, so not sure when weβll see more if Mattβs sculptures π
Awww! Sorry to hear that. π’ I hope things winter up for you folks eventually!
@likelyjanlukas @streetartutopia Not and time soon. Christmas and Boxing Day will be 9Β°C π
I am deeply unhappy about this. Hereabouts, I am anticipating that the parts of the province that didn't burn last year will all go up this coming spring. π’π’π’
@likelyjanlukas @streetartutopia I wrote too soon. Weather in Southwestern Ontario does what it wants, when it wants.
This is the view this morning. It wonβt last, and is already melting.
Nice! I'm glad you had some moisture, even if it was quick-release instead of time-delay. π
Apparently parts of Alberta had some accumulations last night, but I'm not seeing any evidence of this in my part of Edmonton. π
