I Just Thought This Was A Super Cool Tree

Dear PoP – What’s The Significance of This Sticker?

011809_15291, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.

“I saw this sticker on a utility box at 11th and Columbia and was wondering if you had seen it elsewhere/what it means (or if any of the readers did). I know it means “Mother Love”, but beyond that, I have no idea.”

Hmm, I’ve also only seen this at 11th and Columbia. It does remind me a bit of the baby from the greatest city sticker yet? which I posted back in the middle of Dec.

Anyone seen these around town? My guess is that it relates to the “Spanish-language telenovela produced by the United States-based television network Telemundo.” You can find a bit more info from Wikipedia. Any Telemundo fans out there? Is that what this sticker refers to?

    For me at least, part of the joy of city living is finding random, meaningless art objects peppering the streetscape. I’d prefer to think that this sticker has no significance whatsoever and is the work of some mad genius shut-in with a mac and a desire to cause confusion. The text is also an anagram for BABYFACE CANNIBALISM A GO-GO.

    At my age I just think that kind of work without real thought behind it is lazy fake art from people unwilling to put effort into their art.

    Compare Shepherd Farey’s Andre the Giant Has a Posse with his Obama poster.

    ’nuff said.

    good eye, PoP, they’re apparently by the same artist and I think I’ve found him here: http://www.daquellamanera.org/ and http://flickr.com/photos/daquellamanera/sets/72157594166233643/

    Neener – I’m confused, is farey ‘lazy and unwilling to put effort into his art’ (Giant) or is he only making ‘real’ art when it serves a clear purpose and doesn’t confuse anyone? (Obama)
