stikman

stikman (stylized lowercase) is a pseudonymous American street artist best known for placing images of humanoid, robot-like stick figures on the sidewalks of cities across the United States.

[2][4][5] These are usually made of yellow linoleum-like pavement marking tape that becomes embedded in the asphalt over time,[6][7] The artist places the figures, most frequently on crosswalks,[8] without any direct indication of authorship.

[7][9] While they are frequently interpreted as robot figures, the artist has said that they are simply "little men made of sticks".

[10] The figures have also been placed in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Wheeling, West Virginia, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Minneapolis, Minnesota, San Francisco,[11] and Chicago.

[14][15] Works by stikman were selected for Amazon's first collection of limited-edition prints by seven international street artists.
