| 2008_DC_Toynbee | 1 | DC -- Public Art: Stikman Robots
My first encounter with the Stikman Robot characters, this one by the Smithsonian Castle.

I thought the head was in the direction of museum and if you looked at the figure horizontally,... |

These little stick human things keep showing up around town. (Officially, they are called a "Stikman".) I can't find any of the original Toynbee tiles anymore but the modern successors are popular. |

Two tiles.
(1) This one was photographed at the intersection of 15th and F, NW.
(2) This one, a color one, was right near the Temperance Fountain by the National Archives building. I just happened to run across it which was pretty cool!

Until now, I had thought that the Stikman Robot characters were only in DC but I ran into this one on Fifth Avenue near Central Park, New York City. They are also apparently in a variety of states around the country.
