Guerilla Birdhouse Art in Woodacre

Please, oh please, someone tell us who is the guerilla artist behind these treats, and HOW CAN WE JOIN YOUR TRIBE!?!?!?

Seriously.  Look at this stuff.  It is AWESOME.  

A quick lesson for those new to the term "guerilla art."  It's where an artist leaves anonymous works of art in public places.  (For a wonderful, getting-to-be-classic book on how to spark this genius in your own life, check out Keri Smith's, The Guerilla Art Kit.)

That's what we've got going on here in Woodacre . . . on San Geronimo Valley Road.  Some wonderful person (or persons) has been placing a treasury of birdhouses on trees and telephone poles down a stretch of country road.  

Here's the first treat you'll see heading into town.

Yes!!!  Love the collection, the colors, the off-skew placement of them all together.

Keep driving down the road, and you'll see about 20 more of them, placed individually.  

From the traditional models.

On through more eclectic versions.

Loving the bright yellow.

This is just like Lincoln Logs! 

A multi-family dwelling.

And even an Airstream Trailer version for our bird friends.

Whoever you are who's doing this, please know how much you brighten my spirits every single time I drive home.  It has been a joy seeing each of the new installations.  Thanks for your whimsy, your work, your inspiration, and your example.  YOU ROCK!!!!  (And did you stick a bean up your nose when you were little, too?)
