From beneath the waves they emerge

Muddy footprints emerging from the waters of Lake Mendota, onto the sidewalk, and up a wall. I call shenanigans! ...or clever mud stenciling, anyway. Witnessed/photographed by EK from earlier this year.

I love mud stencil art. No one can legitimately complain about vandalism, they fit into the "art is transitory" theme, and these especially are just awesome. Creative expression. All stencils by artist Wanderoo, photos by various folks - all related, of course, to the protests in Madison (and Wisconsin) over the governor/Republican efforts to destroy collective bargaining rights for public employees, among a whole host of other outrages:
