Hippie Totem

[insan0]

Not graffiti, but I'd like to know what gang is marking territory with this!  Appeared at the Bouldercrest triangle a week ago, anyone know the story?

ha!  i noticed it yesterday and thought that i needed to make sure and go back and take a picture before someone f'ed it all up.  it's cute.

I saw it about a week ago, too, insano. It's kind of folk-artish.
I didn't notice until I looked at your photo that the face on the totem is the same as the one tagged on the sign next to it.

I hope it isn't related to this:

can't say for certain, but from the picture, it actually looks like that might be adhered to the sign, not tagged on it.  i'm around the corner and will try to remember to stop and look tomorrow and report back on that.

What does the artisy cross mean?

[Mik]

I think it's suppose to be like an artsy type cross...the writing on it says love...love your brother.  It's really cool and has a positive message.  Nice to remember to love one another.

Maybe it is from the Mennonite farm that is down Bouldercrest?  http://www.atlantamennonite.org/

I searched "love your brother" painted cross on Google images and found a pic that led to the blog above.

Yes, it's a big head. Of course you like it.

I noticed a yellow painted cross with the word "Bear" on it nailed to a tree on the Moreland South I-20 Exit ramp this afternoon.  It kind of looks like one of those crosses that people put up when somebody dies in a car crash (except that it was bright yellow and red) so I thought maybe somebody had a dog named Bear that got creamed on the exit.  But I'm guessing now its related to this.

If you keep reading his blog, you'll see he's the one who put the sign in the Glenwood/Flat Shoals planter "they dumped him in the sea".

Seems he must be a neighbor. I think the blog said he was at Inman Park. We need to get him in the Strut.
I feel like I've seen his stuff around. The more I look at those bears, the more familiar they seem.
