Shoefiti Artist Caught in the Act in Berkeley, California
Fish on Land has a first-hand account of watching a shoefiti artist at work in Berkely, CA earlier this month:
Earlier this week, after a morning appointment, I was walking down a busy street in Berkeley. A young and seriously out of shape guy with a floppy mop of hair walked out of his 3 story apartment building across the street and took a few steps. He hurled a black pair of tennis shoes up in the air, watching as they caught the telephone wire. They lurched as one shoe fell faster than the other and bobbed as the wire gave a little from the weight of the tied laces. He stared at them for a moment and then started walking back in. He turned around as he walked, to see if anyone was watching and stared at me. I stared back. With a nonchalant but clumsy air, he walked back in to his complex. I looked back at the hanging shoes and noticed that next to the newly hung black pair, there was also a hopeful pair of white tennis shoes dangling about a foot closer to the building.
He includes his take on shoefiti theories later in the post.
