So this is pretty awesome. Some ART FIEND has been wandering about my home city (and apparently this has appeared in a few other cities around the country), plastering images of Commander Keen all over public property.







These are real, and I don't know how the hell he or she or they pulled some of them off, such the one below:



I've seen a few personally, including ones not pictured in the full gallery here:

So yeah, it's pretty awesome! I found a new one last night after leaving a gig (which reminded me to post about this), and it made a huge smile cross my face. It's pretty surreal turning a corning and seeing him staring at you. I hope the artist leaves a secret message in Galactic Alphabet somewhere!

Also waiting for the dopefish to inevitably show up.

And yes, I know it's hardly AN ALL NEW ART MEDIUM (space invaders and pac-man are pretty common), but it's still awesome. And cooler than most other ones I've seen.

Wow! This is bigger than I thought. I'm really bummed I've never seen one, now. Guess I need to hang around more brick.
