Rogue Painter

  • Post author:

I’ve always been a huge fan of street art, both because art that isn’t framed in the context of a gallery or museum feels more “real” and because unexpected beauty is the best kind. That’s why it was such a giggle to find these paintings nailed to telephone polls in South Wallingford, in the 37th and Bagley area.

Anyone know who the artist is?

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    There’s another one out there somewhere, too, which I saw only in the dark one night and couldn’t photograph. Would love to know more about this artist!

    The Sign People mourn the loss of their comrades on 36th St. Let’s hope they ended up in a good home rather than a trash bin. Viva la revolucion!

    Do you know what the Sign People do while you sleep?
