Stop.![]() The graffiti artists in Bloomington have a good eye for design.
**Edit** Thank you to everyone who has stopped by to look at this photo; it's been viewed, oh, about 10,000 times more than any of my other pics. While looking at some of the blogs that have linked to it, I found a message purportedly from the artist: "This piece is part of a line of work I have been developing over the last year or so, which is called "Urban Impressionism", in which represent 3D objects in 2-Dimensions through shadows. These shadows are created at a particular point of day, or night, and later stenciled and spray-painted in order to resemble real shadows. Through this process I am able to discuss light and form, in an unconventional way, placing it directly on the streets of the contemporary urban "cityscape" that surrounds us. "Ideally I hope to create a moment of magic or illusion in which the spectator or passer-by questions the space around him/her, through the shadows that are either naturally cast or artificially created. This particular piece incorporates text to politicize a very important issue for many of us today- the end of the war in many regions of our globalized world. "PS. I noticed that on the site, the piece had been mistakenly tagged as a "chalk" piece... The piece itself is was stenciled on the floor using a shadow cast by a light post at night, and later carefully sprayed with a 'camouflage black' can." CommentsRob Maguire

This is superb- you should definitely put this in a few groups- like Street Art- for example. It looks like someone has gone round the city stencilling in these anti-war shadows!
