Dan Witz’s Kilroys

Dan Witz, probably best known for his Birds of Manhattan and Birds 2000 projects, has got some great new pieces up on his website. Thanks to Beautiful Crime for the heads up.

Witz’s new project, Kilroy Variations, is a series of painted stickers which started in 2006 as a nod to the “Kilroy was here” image, but has now taken on a life of its own as faces and hands peaking through grates. Some of these must be pretty freaky to come across if you’re not aware what they are. Imagine seeing one just out of the corner of your eye while walking to Tesco.
