The Redwood City Public Art Program contracted graphic artist Damon Belanger to cover the city with these fake, painted shadows meant to confuse, inspire and amuse.

Thatโ€™s adorable.

I hope one takes a big bite out of Ellison.

@deirdreassenza Oh, Iโ€™ve seen these there in person. Theyโ€™re great.
@deirdreassenza I freaking love this, thank you. Needed that smile.
@deirdreassenza I was in Redwood City last year and I saw that! Hereโ€™s a picture I took:
@BeamsAndBows Oh that looks so good. Thank you!
@deirdreassenza
Oh, great, Louis DeJoy saw its shadow. Now we get 6 more months of price hikes and slow service.
@deirdreassenza
That is amazing!

Me wants to replicate something like this, but use chalk and not get permission.

@SrRochardBunson Everyone should do it. It's the best thing I've seen in a while. :)
@deirdreassenza Absolutely!
@deirdreassenza You could use a stencil. Computer design people to create different ones that you could download.

Maybe even figure out a quicker way of applying chalk to the stencil.

First I retooted the Pliny the Elder toot and thought โ€œhmm kinda weirdโ€. But then a few scrolls later I came across your #streetart toot and thought โ€œoh my god wow this is perfectโ€ and retooted it right away, and now I have this perfect mashup on my timeline of a toot warning about weird shadows literally followed by toot about weird shadows ๐Ÿค“

@bayport OMG I -love- it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@deirdreassenza

I forgot to tag @otterlove who is noted to be the creator of the PlinyBot.
Hey @otterlove I just want to let you know that I dig your weird bot and got a sweet serendipitous mashup of toots you can see the screenshot in this thread. Thanks for the laughs ๐Ÿ™

@bayport @deirdreassenza Made me remember the TV show, Dark Shadows. Wow.
@deirdreassenza He really captured the essence of DeJoy
@deirdreassenza I was really believing the bin had been carefully designed to deliberately cast that shadow. Or some magnificent fluke.
