I entered the middle elevator at Smith Hall on Marshall's campus and I saw this thing scribbled there. I came back and pushed the button a bunch (to the dismay of several faculty members) until I got the middle elevator and took a better photo.
To me it looks like Joseph Stalin holding Oliver Twist. But I could be wrong. A beautiful idea. Wheatpaste actual drawings at the bottom of doors. Unobtrusive and with clear creative merit.
A simple tag. xs instead of dots and a line through the o. Norse God of mischief.
I saw another one of these and I thought to myself "this guy has a damn good theme going"
Its a monkey in a dress comforting another monkey. Now assuming these monkeys and Stalin are by the same artist we can ask ourselves if this wheatpaster (or is it tape?) is a Marshall student or if they are associated with other wheatpasters in the area such as Visitor, Dent, or Magog. Speculation is free and sweet.
