Your Instagram street art captions

So last week I asked Acid Midget followers on Instagram to describe what this wheatpaste was about. I had no idea who made it or what it depicted (I still don't) when I found it. I also asked fans on Facebook and Twitter.

And as promised, I'm republishing your answers right here.

Instagram

tikicave: Two people laying in bed.

east_clintwood: The tip of a quill pen.

interstellar_medium: Happy stingray with pants pockets.

paulphamtastic: It's a Pokemon character!

Facebook

Juilee Pryor: It's a post modern ghost...

Hibbles TheWizard: I figured it looked like that cocoon thing in Pokemon.

Rotar Uno: KKK mask?

Jenny Bunyon: Yeh! Kakuna i think. Metapod. Crossed with a happy Japanese bear or cat.

Twitter

Mim West: Japanese inspired character from space? I am imagining him aqua blue with green eyebrows.

OK so the jury is in. This weird image appears to be the Pokemon Metapod. Do you agree?

Thanks to everyone who contributed. As you know, I love interacting with fans on social networks just as much as writing this blog. To show my appreciation for all your support...here's some more art!

Jumbo and Zap, Camperdown.

Awol Monk, Chippendale.

Boots street art, Sydney

Acid Midget reader Ben Isley submitted this photo on Facebook of a Boots sketch he found in the backstreets of Chippendale.

I haven't seen much of Boots's work on the street, but, ironically, I have in the feeds of fellow street art photographers on Instagram.

I've been using Instagram all year to share daily updates with you guys. It's also been a way to network with street artists and photographers. One such instance was a visit to Takie's studio in Sydney earlier this week.

I'll have a post on that in the coming days bb.

Fukt: Sydney laneway street art

 (Images found at Victory Lane, Camperdown)

I was browsing the web on my iPhone while walking alone through Sydney's laneways last Friday. I would call myself a flaneur, but I was too busy stalking the one I love on Facebook.

If I could translate profile page loads into roses, dates and confidence she would love me too.

I was about to trip over a gutter so I looked up from my phone, because I was forced to, and onto the footpath/sidewalk/concrete.

I saw two stencils, the one above by Fukt. It depicts a bum resting at home -beside a supermarket trolley in the street.

The phrase 'Best We Forget' is a play on the ANZAC phrase 'Lest We Forget', i.e. it's how we remember the Australian and NZ men and women who fought in the wars.

Fukt is Australia's equivalent of Banksy in terms of style. I would go so far as to say he is Banksy's equivalent of Banksy.

And I saw this too. I'm still unsure who did this or what it means. I see a boy, a boy looking up at me (you're such a bad father) with a firecracker/Red Bull/light saber.

I'm not immediately alarmed, possibly because homeless people are a more visible pollution, but I know this kid is in trouble.

Wait - is this kid me?

to the street

Saw this plumbing on Hickson Rd, Walsh Bay before a work xmas party this month.

The ‘pipe gnome saying hi’ idea is clever. Maybe a little too clever because it draws almost no attention to itself in that tiny wall cavity.

This was probably drawn by an ‘alternative’ Korean kid. If i was this kid i’d call it From the Honda Dashboard to the Street.

Then i’d ‘off’ myself on Facebook.
